How Long Can It Take?

Before I got married, I'd fix myself a wrap for lunch and dinner. (Tortilla, lunch meat, cheese, and any fruit or vegetable I had in my fridge.) From meal prep to clean up, it took about 10 minutes from beginning to end. Then I got married and meals started taking a bit longer, but I became pretty proficient at whipping up something in less than 10 minutes when we were in the middle of farm work. Now that I have a child, mealtime takes F O R E V E R ! As I type this, Hudson has been sitting in his seat playing and eating with his food for over 50 minutes now and insists that he is not quite finished. I finally convinced him that he was finished by telling him he could feed the rest to Makita.

I swear. I do not know how we'll ever manage to get this kid to school on time. He'll have to start eating breakfast the night before.

Oh my gosh. He cracks me up so much. What is he doing with those hands/ facial expressions? It looks so agonizing.

Can he come live with Aunt Deid and Uncle Chris for a little while?

I think he might eat a little bit faster if he actually ever had his hands on the food.

I agree with my wife - he should come hang out at the Hartwell home . . . especially once Aunt Tameka moves in.
