I don't call MaryKate: Katie Scarlet for nothing. She has a stubborn and sometimes snotty streak in her. We picked up wings for dinner one night and MaryKate declared that she didn't like them and would not eat any. I insist that the kids eat at least one bite of whatever we are eating when it is new because you don't know if you like it unless you try it. Well... a huge standoff ensued off of my expectation. MaryKate crying and complaining and me being just as stubborn. 20 minutes later she finally took the one itty-bitty bite that I had set aside for her. "Can I have more!" was her immediate reply. She then devoured 7 wings in a matter of minutes and has repeatedly asked for them since. Big Sigh...Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Wings, wings, and more wings

Ha Ha! We went through this with Jesse from the time he was 3 until about 10 ;-) It reminds me of the time we had prime rib for David's birthday and Jesse thought he would rather have tabasco sauce than a tiny bite of that meat! Of course once he tried it he loved it and ate a healthy helping!
