Finn and I were invited to visit Uncle Fer Fer downtown with Kristin and the kiddos today. Uncle Fer Fer works in a nice building with a great food court on the main level. I got a yummy sandwich from Au Bon Pain and a bottle of water because it was sooooo hot outside. Well, I opened my water and by the time I had just one sip Finn was reaching for the bottle. I told him that it was my water and that mommy was so thirsty. Apparently, so was Finn. He began screaming and throwing a fit! I offered him a couple sips thinking that would be enough…I thought wrong! I couldn’t even eat my sandwich because he was screaming so loudly! If you know him you know how loud he is! I always thought I would be the parent to hold my ground and not give in…I’ve found it to be much different in reality. I had no idea I’d give in so quickly. But, seriously, I felt like a terrible person for denying the poor kid water! Long story short, Auntie Kristin was kind enough to distract Finn with the huge fountain so that I could eat. I guess I’m going to have to learn to share!
Guard your food now. He will be after that next! I always start with an extra extra large meal because because the baby birds come and eat it little by little, especially Xavier.
