Oh Ellery, It's a good thing I love ya!!

Ellery's favorite words: eat, breakfast, eat, dinner, hungry, lunch, breakfast, eat, eat, eat......
This morning however, this little lady was off her game. She woke up and first word out of her mouth as usual "breakfast!" I sat her up in her seat, and since she wakes up 2 hours after Porter (9:30ish) I ask her what she would like for breakfast and she asked for eggs. ELLERY LOVES EGGS! Great so, while I started making her eggs I gave her a drinkable yogurt (My kids go through these things like candy!) She screams no at me pushes it over spilling it all over the table. I got upset at her for purposely spilling it, she bawls (I have never seen a sadder cry than when I hurt Ellery's feelings.) I get her eggs made put them in her favorite Hello Kitty bowl. She cries and tells me they are too hot, I blow on them and promise her they are ready to be eaten.
Ellery: "NO EGGS!!"
Me: "Okay what would you like?"
Ellery: "Applesauce!"
Me: "Fine, applesauce it is"
(I hand her the apple sauce)
Ellery: "NO APPLESAUCE!!"
At this point I was done. I do not normally put up with offering and making a million things. So I told her she was done and we headed for the tub.

So if you have made it this far. Kids are bathed and ready for the day. Porter is watching Chuggington. I hear Ellery from the other room.
"MMMMMMM....yummy eggs!"
Yep I left the eggs sitting on the table. And Ellery had made herself comfortable on the ottoman, eating COLD EGGS. YUCK, I can't think of many foods I normally like, that can turn absolutely DISGUSTING when cold!

Silly girl. Good thing she is better than me and cleaned up after herself!
