1. Bought Joseph a new shirt on Thursday – a tropical-themed kind of golf shirt similar to one of his dad’s. I told him this would be good to wear when we went to eat out.<\/p>\n
Friday night, after the monthly trip to Sam’s, we’re going into a restaurant. He’s wearing his shirt. We head for the door. <\/p>\n
“But I want to eat out<\/em>!”<\/p>\n We explain that this is exactly what we’re doing. <\/p>\n Near tears, he protests again, “No, this shirt is for eatin’ out!<\/em> I wanna eat outside!”<\/p>\n 2. Last night at dinner, I tell him to clean his plate. He looks up at me in total puzzlement and says, “Why?” then before I can answer, has picked up his napkin and started to wipe down his plate, which of course still has food on it.<\/p>\n And to show that it’s not just All About Joseph:<\/p>\n We went to a celebration of fiber today. Really. Not bran, but wool and such. Saw sheep being sheared, llamas, etc. There was a terribly sweet little black lamb whom, we were told, had been born sometime in the past 24 hours. <\/p>\n As we walked away, Katie declared, “That does it. I’m never eating veal again!”<\/p>\n Well, good for you. Whatever it takes, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.
