Video of Kyle eating dinner on a Monday night

Below is a quick video of the King eating his dinner tonight at around 7:30pm.

After school Wifey took him to a local beach about 30 minutes from home.

I got home about 6:50pm, before them, and just as I was pulling in she texted me saying “can you make marinara sauce and keep some pasta on the side for Kyle and I’ll make it with butter & cheese when I get home. He’s gonna be starving but he’s gotta go right in the shower first cuz he’s full of sand…

So I did what I was told. LOL

To be honest me cooking is a rare occurrence but what made this meal kinda special is that we had the timing down perfectly.

They pulled in, my sauce was ready, I gave him a shower, Wifey threw the pasta in the water and then jumped in the shower herself.

And then right after this video the 3 of us sat at the table and actually ate together for 23 minutes. If it wasn’t for the king’s breath holding it would’ve been an A+ dinner but I’d say it was definitely a solid B+ maybe even an A-

Thank you for sharing! It is a good reminder that I should be loading my son's spoon or fork and letting him feed himself instead of just shoveling it in.
