New Years Resolution

Well, Dania must have made a resolution to lose weight because she suddenly  has decided not to eat.  UGH!  It is absolutely painful.  I know most kids do this, but she's tiny and needs to eat.  She is potty training and her tights already don't stay up without a diaper!  Seriously!  She cries, screams, fights, throws herself around in the chair, won't be bartered with or bribed.  She won't swallow!  She holds a bite of food in her mouth and just lets it turn to liquid (48 minutes was the longest!).  I just want her to have 1 bite, always try something, but she isn't even taking 1 bite of her fav foods at supper.  I know it's not a painful reason because I broke down after day 6 and got her a Happy Meal and she scarfed that thing down in less than 10 minutes!  Oh, my!  It's just a crappy dinner hour and a half.  Mike and I can't talk over her yelling and we are constantly trying to reassure her and remind her that if she just has 1 bite and swallows that's okay.  She is so smart though that I honestly think she is waiting for us to break down and just let her get away from the dinner table without a bite and demand crackers.  If she has a bite of something new and she doesn't like it, fine, no problem, we will find you something else.  But I keep making stuff I know she has eaten before and she just screams.  I tell our friends this and then she goes and eats all her food and her friends' food at our weekly Sunday dinner.  What the heck!?  Well, if I thought it was over, I was wrong.  It's been 2 days since that and both nights have been:

And then she is fine once her feet hit the floor!  Even when she looks like this she does cute things that make us try not to laugh!  HA!

On the plus side, no accidents today and we were even in and out of the bitter, windy outdoors several times!  


Wow,  I just noticed that this probably has the most exclamation points in any of my other posts.
