This brings a whole new meaning to the old adage, "You're not getting down until you've finished your plate."
Now don't look at me like that. I know for a fact that all of you have done the same thing. It wasn't like we were torturing the poor kid with livers and squash. It was a botched fettuccine alfredo recipe which turned out to be glorified butter noodles. And Hayes is all about some butter noodles, just not these, for some crazy reason. They were served with a side of fresh green beans, which is my children's vegetable of choice.
He nibbled on his lunch while we all enjoyed it. Then, he sat there staring at his plate as we all got down. After a few reminders that he was not getting down until he finished his plate, he just curled up in the hard wooden chair and took a nap.
Needless to say, when he woke, I showed him some compassion and gave him some mercy. The kid took a nap at the dinner table!
