what the...?

they say that if your child is doing something they shouldn't, if you laugh (because it's cute or funny), they won't take you seriously and that they'll think it's ok to do it again. i totally agree. but how on earth are you supposed to keep a straight face when you look up to pop another bite of food into your kid's mouth and you see this little foot just propped up on the table?it wasn't just the foot, it was the expression too. we TRIED really hard to keep a straight face. more like we turned our backs to cole and tried really hard not to make a sound while laughing hysterically and then, when we thought we had ourselves under control, turned back to set him straight. i don't think i even have to tell you that it did NOT work- one look at that little foot up there and the look of relaxation/confusion on his face just did us in. we laughed. hard. loud. long. it was very satisfying.

but the satisfaction of a really good laugh doesn't help the fact that now our son thinks it's perfectly fine to prop his toes up on the table. we'll have to work on that. preferrably on in individual basis, because if we go in on the effort together, we're going to crack up all over again., therefore totally defeating the purpose. so yes, we had a jolly good giggle at the dinner table and will now have to deal with the consequences. wish y'all had been there, it was great. and in case you're wondering, yes, we did have pizza. cole's first pizza- he did really well and thoroughly enjoyed himself. obviously...
