Ares Loves to Eat!

Two nights ago, I had Ares pick out what we ate for dinner.  I assumed (correctly) that he would pick something easy to make, which made me happy, because I was a little tired.   His choice was:

• Salads
• Disney Princess Chicken Noodle soup
• Macaroni and Cheese

I know it's not healthy at all, but at least it was something that made him happy (he helped me 'cook') and it was easy.  He loves to help cook or bake, which often gets in the way and makes things WAY messier .(Like, how on earth, do you ALWAYS miss the pot when pouring the packet of cheese powder in?!)
We cut the lettuce up, and I got him some croutons for his salad.  His favorite dressing right now is Ranch, so I started pouring the dressing.  It didn't come out very well, so I started shaking the container and squeezing it.  Ares looks at me and states "Mom, it's coming, you just have to have patience." and then "Be more patient mom!" when I was still  squeezing the container, haha.

Yesterday, Adam had to stay home to watch Ares because Aunt Cindy couldn't.  He made a fabulous dinner of BBQ Ribs, corn on the cob (or, cob on the corn, as Ares called it once, haha) and home made garlic cheddar mashed potatoes.  It was delicious, but I was worried at first, because Ares doesn't like BBQ sauce.  (Which he stated many times after Adam doused all 3 half racks of ribs with it.  I (genius) told him that he doesn't like BBQ chicken  that BBQ ribs he'll like.  Plus, you're allowed to eat with your fingers and get ALL messy!)   Well, that seems to have worked.  A few ribs, 2 corn on the cobs and 2 helpings of mashed potatoes, and he didn't even ask for a snack after dinner.   Good eatin' kid!
