Begging

Quite often our evening routine involves feeding the boys their supper sometime between 5:00-5:30. If Eric's home I try to cook supper while I'm making the boys' supper, or at least time it so it's ready after the boys are done eating. Sometimes the boys just stay in their high chairs and we eat at the table. This provides me a good opportunity to feed them some table food. If the natives are too restless after they eat, we move them back into the living room to play and we come eat/ keep them out of trouble. The boys like to check out what we're eating... and do a little begging.

First, the "aren't we just too cute for words" looks.

When that doesn't work, they try the "how could you starve your little boys; it's been 5 minutes since we finished eating, but we're famished" looks.
