WILL EAT FOR OLD MACDONALD!
Mealtimes at our house sure are interesting. Ava is getting more and more distracted during dinner. She ends up doing lots of grunting - trying to tell us she wants something be we can't always figure out what she wants. She is not a picky eater, it's just a matter getting her to stay focused on eating. So the other night the grunting began and there was still lots of food to be eaten. Bart began singing to her...ABCs, Old MacDonald, whatever came to mind. As long as he sang, Ava ate. NICE! Well, nice until you realize you are singing nursery rhymes for 30 min. straight. If Bart looked away to refill her fork, she tilted her head and look at him like, hello keep singing. So now we have quite the duet during dinner time. Very interesting! Most of those who know me know that I can't sing but Ava doesn't mind and as long as she's eating, I WILL SING!Wouldn't you love to join us for dinner some time!

LOL! That is so funny! I would LOVE to be at your house during dinner time! :)
I was scrolling through some of your other posts. Ava is precious! I guess I missed your post last week. I love your laundry room...I've been thinking if I jazzed mine up a bit, maybe I would enjoy going in there more! Ha!
This is a funny story... I used to do the airplane thingy to get my kids and grandkids to eat. "Here comes the airplane zooming into the hangar,...open wide! Yummy yum yum!" (:>)
And with my youngest daughter we had a bathtub song that we would sing to get her to take her baths.Ha!
So this doesn't seem so strange to me. (:>) I think it is a cute picture to behold,...mommy and daddy singing together to encourage their little girl to eat.
God bless your sweet family,

To be a fly on the wall!
Such a cute story. As Paula said, whatever works!
That's hilarious!! LOL! Hopefully she'll grow out of that...or at least let you sing a different song once in awhile!
LOL! Hopefully you guys eat a different time than she does =) Or you both will be pretty hungry!
Aren't kids fun!?
That is cute! You will have to taped that sometime, so you can show Ava in years to come. :) What we will do to get our little ones to eat. I know i done some funny things too. It works usually!
