Eating as a family

I was so happy to have all of us eating together tonight. Now, I know this might not seem like much, but this has been one of the hardest things for us, especially during football and track seasons. Camden is always hungry when he and I get home. But I have found if I feed him a snack, he fills up on that and is not hungry for dinner. So, I usually end up feeding him while I am cooking dinner. Well, then, he wants to play with Todd and be entertained while we are trying to eat dinner and talk. A while back, we implemented "Mommy/Daddy talk time." This has worked pretty well, at least to give us a few uninterrupted minutes to eat and talk about our day. But I am always happen when Camden can hold off or at least be satisfied with a small snack and joins us at the table for dinner. Now, on the flipside, he pretty much monopolized the conversation tonight...which didn't leave Todd and I much interaction, but you have take the good with the bad, right?

Love his brown eyes in the picture, but clearly, we need a little work on manners....
