Messy Faces; Smiley Faces

You'd think we never wipe this kid's face! I will admit it is getting wiped a lot less frequently of late, and it shows. Sigh.

She's extra messy here after lunch because she discovered she does not actually have to eat the graham crackers to get the Nuttella in the middle. Unfortunately, I think she is wearing a lot more Nuttella than she managed to eat.

Charlotte ate the graham crackers and the Nuttella, but she's still a messy-faced girl. I'm just happy she's covered in chocolate and not snot.

Marian actually cracked a smile! She's been fairly quiet lately. With all the noise and demands from other children, she fades a bit into the background. She's going to need some one-on-one time once there are fewer kids in the house.

Callie has become obsessed with doing her own hair. The results are occasionally quite interesting. But look how happy she is with it!

This is Delaney's smile-on-demand. She is such a hoot and loves to get her picture taken.

Matthew is a cutie-pie, but he does not like having his picture taken. He is having a ball with all our toys. Well, in reality, he has a ball till Delaney or Rylee tries to run off with the toys.

Most crazy-making moment today:
Me: Matthew, how many chicken nuggets would you like?
Matthew: I don't LIKE chicken nuggets!
Me: Fine, would you like a sandwich?
Matthew: I don't like peanut butter!
Me: How about just jelly?
Matthew: Okay.
Me: Delaney, how many chicken nuggets do you want?
Delaney: um....3!
Matthew (in a screaming and crying utter whine): But I WANT chicken nuggets!!!

I just read your puke entry and this one and I think you need some sort of reward or maybe a special vacation. I have never experienced multiple kids puking in the same time period--we usually stagger it around here. Also, love that Callie is doing her own hair. Tillie comes up with some pretty great hair and most days, I allow it, but some days I just need to take control of it again.
You're doing a great job!

Maybe you should just stop asking what he wants and just plop a plate of food in front of him and let him eat or not eat.
