Ted has developed a habit of getting up and wandering off during meals. My knee jerk reaction is to yell at him threats of bedtime if he does not get his tush immediately back into his seat. You can imagine how effective this method is. When I have the presence of mind to actually remember I am interacting with a 2 year old I can come up with some creative methods to get him to hang out and eat. My inspiration is the mom from A Christmas Story, the funniest movie mom there is.
Today's task was eating quesadillas and corn. Each time Ted would take a bite of corn I would sing (to the tune of Mickey Mouse Club)
Who's the corniest person at the table?
T-E-D
O-P-F
A-R Ted Opfar
He and Tidus laughed hysterically and all the corn was eaten up. Granted, Ruby ate about 1/3 of the corn that ended up on the floor as Ted attempted to get it from the plate to his mouth.
