Being The Example!

Crystal would rather me not post this, but it's funny.

I have to preface this story with something embarrassing about Crystal. Whenever we have a meal with a sauce, she will indulge herself and lick the entire plate clean. I guess it makes it easier when the dishes get washed!

Eden has been improving her etiquette and eating food off of a plate instead of the table on her high chair. In the past she has smashed food on her table and thrown food to the floor. It has been making meal cleanup easier.

We were at the dinner table a few nights ago and the kids were near the end of the meal. Kaitlyn and Riley were starting to mess around by banging their plates on the table. Crystal told them to knock it off and be a good example for Eden. As little kids do, they watch the older kids and copy. The last thing we want is for Eden to use her plate to make messes even bigger. At the same moment Crystal was chastising the kids, Eden picked up her plate and was licking it clean, just like her mommy does. I turned to Crystal and thanked her for being an example too!
