Tonight's meal was simple--beef burritos. Standard use of taco seasoning with lean ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and low carb wheat burrito tortillas. Ben's burrito had some hot sauce in it. I left it off of mine due to my sore throat.

Katie was the wild card in tonight's meal. About a 1/2 hour before we ate, she was whining for food. I told her we were going to wait so that we could eat together with Daddy. When we finally sat down, she barely touched her food. Then she started to pull off her bib. We won't let her continue without a bib on. Either the bib stays on or she is done with the meal. But, she wouldn't tell us that she was all done. Each time we went to try to clean her up, she would reach back towards the food. What's a momma to do?!? Well, this momma decided to clean her up and get her down from her high chair.

Not long after that, we went upstairs so that she could take a bath. We were just about to put her down for the night when she started signing for food. Milk. Cheese. Bread. Peanut butter. Thinking that she was still hungry, we went back downstairs. She went right to the fridge and started pointing to the jar of jam. At this point, we think that she means jam when she signs for bread. Anyway, we made her a small pb&j sandwich. Seated back in her high chair, she proceeded to pull the two pieces of bread apart to lick off the pb&j. She only took a few small bits out of the bread. The kicker was when she rubbed her jam covered hand through her clean hair. ARGH! That was the end of her second dinner. Her hands and hair were cleaned up, despite her loud objections, and we took her upstairs to bed. It's been about a 1/2 hour and I haven't heard a peep from her. I guess she was just plain tired.
