The magic of eating with a group of their peers; it never ceases to amaze me. At home, particularly with Sonja, we have to remind her over and over to keep eating and practically have to beg her to stay at the table to finish her meals. But sit her down with a bunch of other kids, and she'll eat and eat with absolutely zero coaching.
And it's also astounding to watch Haven and Sonja eating side-by-side without any drama. No pushing, no grabbing, no screaming and crying. They just hang out and eat and pretty much leave each other alone. It's downright magical.
Maybe I should just invite a bunch of their friends over everyday for supper. And breakfast and lunch. Hell, maybe a few of us Moms should get together and we can all host meals on a rotating schedule so that our kids can eat together and make our lives easier. That's actually not a bad idea.
