Less To Go Around

I've noticed a trend occurring. I'm pretty sure I don't like it. I can't say I didn't expect it to happen, but I always thought there would be more time.

I've noticed a trend, in which, there is no more food by the end of dinner. I love leftovers. Sometimes food is better the second day even. However, my children seem to have the same love of food as I do.

This means that even at 3 years old, my daughter is already laying claim to the last hamburger on the plate or the last scoop of potatoes.

This means that my 11-month-old son, who has started to eat table foods, is clenching his fists and grunting in protest at the sight of others eating after he has cleaned the food from his tray.

This means there is just less to go around and it is time to start buying things that say "Family Size" on the box...and then making an extra box for the kids.

Also, on an unrelated topic, my wife is awesome.
