Dinner stats

6 feet: average distance of thrown food

75%: percentage of Dylan's body covered with food

6 minutes: amount of time we have to eat before the head-banging, food-throwing, red-faced tantrum begins

16: number of times Kelsie laughed at him and egged him on

2: number of times we caught sippy cup in mid-air

3: number of times we DIDN'T manage to catch the sippy cup in mid-air (I know, I know ... why do we keep giving it back to him?? Because without that our 6 minutes to eat gets shortened dramatically.)

2: number of times we had to shampoo his hair to get all the food out of it (and of course last night was the night he decided to hate the bath)



The worst part of this is that it was Sloppy Joe night and we knew better! We looked at each other right before giving him his food and said "this is a terrible idea," but we gave it to him anyway because we didn't prepare a separate meal for him. But most of the stats hold true regardless of what we feed him, it's just not always quite this messy.
