Guilty as Charged

A few nights ago, Christian had just woken up right before dinner so he really wasn't hungry when we sat down to eat. When this happens we leave his food on the table and when he's hungry we tell him that that's what's for dinner, because he often tries to eat cereal or toast for dinner. We have really been sticking to our guns to kind of break him of the habit so if he doesn't eat dinner than he doesn't get anything else (I know it's mean, but it works). Anyway, Christian knew we had hot dogs in the fridge and kept saying I want one I want one, and we of course said no, you need to eat your dinner. I sat down to give Evan some milk before bed and Dan was working on the computer and I realized I hadn't seen Christian in a little bit. I told Dan to go look for him. He found him, he had locked himself in the bathroom and was eating a cold hot dog (oh sick!). When Dan opened the door Christian tried to quickly shove the half eaten hot dog back into the package. He told Christian to go and show mom what he had done. At this point I thought it had something to do with the toilet paper. He came out with his head down holding out a half eat hot dog and I just started to laugh. I said let the poor kid eat the hot dog! It was hilarious. I guess sometimes you really do just need a hot dog :)
