Demanding eater

If you are eating something in front of Lise - she will screech until she gets it too. No hesitation around new food here, if you eat it, she NEEDS to have it in her mouth yesterday!

The other night we were having baby carrots and dip. She yelled until we gave her a baby carrot (and watched her super close to make sure she was only shaving off little bits with her 6 teeth). But that wasn't good enough, nope. She then screamed holding the carrot toward me until I'd take it, dip it in the thousand island dressing on my plate and give it back to her, where she would lick off the dressing, gnaw off a tiny bit of carrot, and then repeat the screeching until the carrot was dipped again.

Eating the carrot.

Demanding more.

Friday evening we took the girls to Beecher's for ice cream. Claire had been there numerous times last summer and even once earlier in the season with just me. Lise hadn't been there since last season, so this was the first time she was actually able to have ice cream. We got her vanilla frozen yogurt in a dish. She wasn't so sure about the cold at first (she's had ice cream before, but always is a little hesitant at first.) But soon got over that.

But we had made a mistake.

Claire had an ice cream cone. I had an ice cream cone. (Will had a shake, but apparently he isn't the trendsetter that Lise wants to follow.) She very clearly wanted to lick the frozen yogurt out of the dish and not eat it off of a spoon. Let's just say that she got most of the frozen yogurt inside her I think, but hopefully no one sits in her spot on that bench until after the next rain.

I guess next time we go with the cone... except then she's probably going to want to hold it herself. We'll have to go on bath night!
