In case you missed it, last week I talked about the kiddo and his obsession with balls. Yes, you read that write. He. Loves. Balls. *pause for giggles*
Well, tonight, after a weekend at Gram’s house, so Dad-oo and I could do some work on the house and enjoy a Valentine’s dinner kid-free, we had a bit of a melt down at dinner. You see, I tried to feed him this.
But he refused to eat it. There were tears, kicking, and requests for different food. Carrots. Milk. Bananas. Blue-BERRIES. And…a big ball “snamwitch”.
Between hand-smothered giggles, okay there were all-out belly laughs, Dad-oo and I came up with a plan. We would make him an official Big Ball “Snamwitch”.
Yes, that is his pasta, between two pieces of bread.
It worked. For a few minutes.
Until, without thinking, I pushed back the contents of his Big Ball “Snamwitch” with the fork that still had some pasta on it. Big. Mistake. He refused to eat it.
Instead, the kiddo now wants a basketball “snamwitch”. Which we gladly supplied.
Little did he know that it was the Big Ball “Snamwitch” with a healthy does of BBQ sauce.
When we picked up the kiddo on Sunday, Grams boasted about how he ate so well with her. What, exactly, was she feeding him?

That’s awesome. My friend’s kids won’t eat any soup other than meatball. So everything is meatball soup at their house and the kid is 4.5!

@Michelle @ One Crafty Mama, I know, it’s so frustrating. Maybe they have magic cookies or something?

hee, hee… You said balls! That same thing happens to me whenever my mom or my motherinlaw watch my youngest, what are they feeding him? Only to find out its the same stuff I feed him and he throws it back in my face. The problem must be with me, lol!

@Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma, Why is that? Grams claimed that he ate great for her, yet it’s been a huge struggle for me to get him to eat lately. So frustrating.

@Allison, I have concluded that the kids do it to make it appear like we have no idea what we are doing and give their grandmas an ego boost, lol!

So cute and funny! I’ve never thought of putting pasta in bread. I’m a carb addict and I think it sounds delicious!
