The Great Soup Struggle of 2015

An emotional roller coster tonight at dinner over homemade chicken noodle soup. 

Silas: stirring and stirring his soup, no bites yet

Joshua: "just taste it so you can experience the temperature."

Silas: small sip. "Ohh! It hurt my feelings!!!!" (He meant tongue, but said feeling. It was terrific! So many smiles as I explained the difference between tounge and feelings.)

Me: "Silas, we can't do anything tonight until you eat your dinner."

Silas: "I hate soup!" (I've never heard him say hate before. It just isn't a word we use. I flashed him a nasty glare.) 

More stalling.... 
I mean stirring. Right, stirring. 

Silas: small sip. "This is the best taste ever!" 

20 min later,  still waiting for him to finish . 
Total dinner time: 43 minutes.
