Andrews Family

At lunchtime, I got out some frozen veggies for Olivia and decided she could have some of the leftover lasagna with it. I steamed the veggies in the microwave and heated up the lasagna and brought it all over to the table. The vegetables were too hot for her, so I started cutting up the lasagna and giving her little bites. She hadn’t had lasagna before and appeared to be a big fan (little did I know how big!). After she ate the lasagna, I put her veggies on her high chair tray and went to the kitchen to reheat a piece of lasagna for myself while Livy happily ate her veggies. When I brought my plate of lasagna back to the table, she eyed it carefully. When I put the first bite in my mouth, she screamed hysterically. I wasn’t really sure what was wrong so I tried a few different things and she calmed down and started eating veggies again. Then I put the second bite in my mouth and she totally lost it. Apparently that was HER lasagna and I had totally stepped over the line making some for myself! Sure enough, I tried eating a couple more bites and she screamed and turned bright red and had huge tears running down her face each time. So I gave in and gave her a bite and then ate one myself and that’s how we finished lunch. She watched me like a hawk to make sure I was not having more than “my share” and seemed pretty proud of herself for maintaining control of the situation. Our little munchkin is really starting to show some personality!!
