Dim Sum Danica

Here’s proof that dining with Danica is not always the pleasurable experience it seems to be. A couple of weeks ago we went out for dim sum, and I filmed a couple of things as we were finishing up as a reminder that The Girl is definitely a little sugar AND a little spice. Here are a few new tricks she’s picked up in the last couple of months:

  1. Here’s how it all starts:


  2. This is what happens when you try to get your kid to quiet down and it ends up being fun for them. Kindra heard a long time ago that one of the best techniques for getting your child to quiet down is to pat their mouth with your hand when they are being loud. Seems that Danica finds it amusing and now does it herself when she realizes she’s making a ruckus:

  3. As you all know, Danica knows what she likes and dislikes and what she wants and doesn’t want. What she doesn’t like is having a dirty mouth, and she’s become more demonstrative when she says, “No.”

Isn't how funny how kids, especially girls get flippy with food on or around their mouths. Natalie and Vanessa whine and whine until something is done. They also freak out when a piece of food has slipped, out of their mouth or fallen off their spoon, on to the table.

As for the not wanting of the water, wait until she chucks it.

Yeah, I'm not sure where Danica picked up how to wipe her mouth. She also cleans the footrest of her high chair when Kindra or I clean the tray.

As for the water, she will toss it at home. She gets a kick out of seeing us pick it up.
