Food Fight: Kiya 1; Mama 0

There are so many things I love about my kids. One is their distinctive personalities. Right when you think you have got things figured out as a parent, God throws you a curve ball in the form of a completely different personality.

Now don't get me wrong. My kids are amazing, and I have been BLESSED with adorable little cherubs...at least so far. :P They sure do keep me on my toes though.

For instance, Caiden was a very easy eater. He would eat whatever without hassle. It was great. He absolutely LOVED vegetables, tomatoes were one of his favorites, and he would share in my love of pickled foods like corn, pickles, etc...

Kiya on the other hand is NOT a lover of vegetables. Unless they are sweet potatoes or squash you would think I was poisoning her based on her overly dramatic responses.

She has many moves to tell you she is none too pleased with your selection of entrees.

First there is the hands over the face, faux tired move.

Then their is the lips pursed together, eyes closed (see no evil, taste no evil) move

Let's not discount the nose up in the air, sniff sniff move

Now I don't have a picture of the "missing lips" move where she sucks her lips in an effort to hide her mouth.

Of course there is the...fine I'll take it, but will promptly spit it out move too. That's a classic.

She's exactly like me...stubborn to the core. Whereas Caiden would have given in by now and succumbed, Kiya keeps on trucking...in fact, here are some pictures of Kiya proud as punch with herself.



And in case you didn't quite get the full effect, a video for you...
