This evening we were having guests (missionaries from our church) come over for dinner. The kids always get really excited about company, but this evening the missionaries couldn't come over until 6:30. Since we usually eat at 5pm, we knew that this was going to be a problem. Although we tried to do snacks a little later, when 6pm rolled around Christian (4) started asking for a snack. Not wanting to spoil his dinner, he was just given a bowl of leftover oatmeal. He must have been famished because as soon as it was placed in front of him he started digging in. Isn't funny how anything tastes good when you are hungry. Thinking back on it now, we should have tried mushrooms or spinach first.
Elliott (our biggest eater right now) soon found out that there was food to be eaten and so he came running in. Although Christian was starving he shared every other bite of the oatmeal with his brother Elliott.
Christian is my superhero today for sharing his much desired snack with his brother.
