Sleep Eating

We don't ask the boys to clean their plates during meals. It's often not even a concern. Both boys are pretty good eaters. There are two exceptions: Sunday morning before church and dinner. Neither boy eats breakfast on Sunday. At least they don't eat much and what they do eat is consumed VERY SLOWLY. I have no idea why. The other exception is Cooper during our final meal of the day. I think he's just eaten so much during the other two meals that he doesn't have much room left.

While we don't demand that they eat everything, we do ask that they at least eat something. Hence this conversation from last Thursday night:

Peter: (Upon completing his dinner) Can I have an Otter Pop?

Me: Sure.

Cooper: Can I have an Otter Pop?

Me: Cooper you haven't eaten anything yet. You at least need to eat a carrot.

Cooper: Oh, I ate lots of carrots before I woke up.

Did you now?
