You win this one little man!

In the world of Mommyhood if you've heard this little gem once, you've heard it a million times - "Pick your battles". Our day today started out as one of those days. So lunch time rolls around and goes something like this (ahem):

Me - Grady your yummy lunch is ready. Come get in your chair.

Grady - silence.

Me: Grady, did you hear me?

Grady: Yes! I no like it.

Me: You don't even know what it is yet!

Grady: No Mommy. I no like the CHAAAIIIRR.

Me: Since when? You always sit in that chair?

He then begins to crawl under the table and says in his sweetest little question voice "Grady eat down here?".

Even though the thought of No way passed instantly into my head, I stopped for a minute and thought "why not?" Grady then raised his victory flag, happily took his little plastic plate under the table and had a grand time eating.

I truly think he thought he was on a big adventure under that table.

And what you may ask did Ryan think of all this? Well, I'll let the picture speak for itself!

Yes little man, you won this one hands down. Now lets all be sure not to tell him that I'm ok with that. That would take all the fun out of his lunch-time victory.

p.s. Yes we were all still in our pj's at lunch time. Don't judge me! lol.
