Lulu, on the other hand,
Ria, sweet little Ria,
doesn't eat much of anything.
She eats everything,
but not much of it.
I never make my grandkids
"clean their plates".
I find that most kids
know when they are full..
and making them eat
MORE THAN that
POSSIBLY
sets them up for
a love/hate relationship
with food....or......
eating disorders,
and makes them
dread mealtime.
Each, and every, girl
announced that they
were too full to eat
another bite.
We cleaned up after
our meal and the girls
dressed for the evening....
2 brides and
the Princess...
They said they were
TOO FULL!
However, when Papa
pulled out his
secret stash
of these....
3 sets of eyes
brightened up.
Hey...SweetCheeks..
I thought you were
FULL????
I ahm full..but Ih'm full
of reggyoular food
but nott doughnuts...
cuz doughnuts are my
fhavorhite.

I have to ask, does Lulu start with her least favourite and work her way around to her most favourite? I still do that sometimes. So does Miss I. And Sweetcheeks reasoning is quite often heard here too, but in this form "I'm not hungry for vegetable, just icecream" Some things are universal.

Now I want a donut too! lol and I love those heart-shaped plates--adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnd so happy you're headin' out of town--that is awesome!!!

Your granddaughters are so pretty...tis true, always room for doughnuts...I never knew why fat tasted sooooo very delicious. My daughter, did not want her food to touch each other and she would eat her favorite food last...my son I still tease because when I cooked chicken or we went somewhere they had chicken....he would remind me..."i don't want any dirty meat"...he only eats white meat whether it is chicken or turkey but he would mix his food up, telling Amy...do you not think it is not going to touch each other, when it gets in your stomach....yes, she said, but I am not looking at it in my stomach....lol

That is so cute. I wish when I was full, I was full of all food but I also leave a little bit of room for sweets!
ReplyDeleteBrides, Princess's and Donuts - Can it get any better than this?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and beautiful girls!!
I knew there is always room for doughnuts! They don't fill you up because there's a hole in the center! Silly Nana- you should know that!
ReplyDeleteActually, I was nothing like SweetCheeks. I was more like Ria. I was very, very shy and bashful. I came out of my shell in about 4th grade and really didn't go all out until I was an adult. Really.
How sweet and adorable!! There's always room for doughnuts in my book :O)
ReplyDeleteGlad I found you this morning while I was blog hopping. I'm a new follower :O)
Oh how I love those girls! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd 'seriously' is one of my favorite words, which I'm trying not to say so often. But now I'll be saying it all day!!
Seriously.
xoxo
They are soooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday my funny friend. I know you are away but had to tell you I miss you!
ReplyDeleteYour "girls" are soooo cute!
xoRebecca
Your life is so full of preciousness!
ReplyDelete"sinked down to my toes"....LOL....love that!
ReplyDeleteAlways room for an effen donut or two. Words to live by! I love those girls and sweet
ReplyDeletebaby E...they always bring wonderful laughter to us. They are children who are full to the brim with love. Thank you for sharing, Diana.
Seereeeusly, we call that 'Our Dessert Stomache', when we're too full to eat what we should, but of course neva eva too full for dessert! Or, if someone sneaks a cookie before dinner, it Seereeeusly won't fill ya up, because it's only going to the dessert stomache! :) Seereeeusly! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting!

ReplyDelete"That on sinked down to my toes!" I love it! In our house we do the Cooper stretch. My son Cooper perfected it and it means when you are completely full but, you just must have one more bite or indulge in dessert, you sit up as tall as you can, stretch slowly until everything sinks (maybe down to your toes) then, walla! You have room for at least one more bite. (By the by) - I never made my kids or make my grandkids eat all their food. As long as they are eating things that are good for them as well as the treats, I think kids know when they're full. I hear they consume the same amount of calories each week no matter what order they get them in, i.e.. eat lots one day and barely a thing the next. Mine all seem to be turning out fine so we're going with it. Blessings to you and yours, Tia
