Sean and the boys have been playing a knights game on the computer after dinner for the past few weeks. They love it and look forward to Daddy getting home each night so they can play. Well, on Friday night, they absolutely refused to eat their dinner. (I don’t even remember what it was now, but they acted as if they might die trying to eat it.) So, Sean told them if they didn’t eat it then they couldn’t play knights that night after dinner. Colm still wouldn’t eat. Liam tried, but he was picking and poking at his food and I was not going to sit there with him all night. So Sean told them that they wouldn’t be playing knights that night and got up from the table. (oh, dear, you should have heard the wailing). But it got worse…Sean went and played without them. He went in his office, shut the door and played for a good half hour. Their little world collapsed. The tears. The howling. I think there were some pint-sized insults thrown in Sean’s direction. You should see these kids eat now though. Not only are they eating things they would never have eaten five days ago, but they know they have to eat it in a reasonable amount of time, too. They were literally scarfing down their pasta last night. I love it! I could serve them pigs ears with garlic sauce now and I think they would find a way to choke it down.
