Day 20 - Waiting

• Matthias stating the obvious again: "I'm walking with both feet." .... aaalllrrighhht.
• When you eat with children then you spend most of your time waiting. And yes I refer to both meanings of the word :)
• First you have to wait the table. As soon as you sit down one of the two needs something: water, a fork instead of the spoon, a different coloured cup, apple juice instead of the water you just brought, still a different coloured cup because now it contains juice instead of water, more rice, less rice, and so on. Luckily our dinner table is right next to the kitchen.
• Second when you feed Matthias then after each bite you have to wait for him to finish chewing, swallowing it all down, wait for him to finish playing with whatever he could find on the table, then answer all 384 questions he managed to come up with while chewing the last bite and then finally wait for him to remember the purpose of him sitting at the table in front of a plate full of food which is "OPEN YOUR MOUTH!"
• At the playground today Matthias broke the world record for two year olds on a swing I guess. He managed to stay on the swing for ... excitement ... ONE HOUR! Afterwards he was a bit wobbly when walking :)
• Today Matthias also found one of Heidrun's sanitary towels. He asked me what they are used for and I replied that they are nappies for mum. Unfortunately she had already told him before that they are used to clean your nose :) So which explanation sounds more reasonable?
• Lunch: Noodles, Dinner: Football Pizza and goulash.
