Ian has turned his bedroom into something similar to a stay at a hotel. Jeff is the main parent to put him down to bed each night. Their routine is practice writing, bath, books, and then lights-out. However, Jeff is a sucker for hearing the words "I'm hungry" and refuses to say no to Ian when hearing these words. Ian has figured out this persuasive stalling tactic and is not afraid to use it nightly.
I'll be at the dining room table on our computer and see Jeff come downstairs and put together a snack for Ian. I'll ask what he is doing and Jeff says, "Ian is hungry. I am getting him some insert various snack item here" Really? You think Ian is hungry? Sure. Right. This is his sure-fire way to stay up another 10 minutes. According to Jeff, he'll never say no and make Ian go to bed hungry. The only saving grace is that whatever snack is brought to Ian is uber-healthy. There will be no offerings of goldfish, pretzels, or cheez-its. It is fruit, cheesestick, or go-gurt all the way.
Funny that whenever I have to put Ian to bed, he never once says he is hungry. I guess room service at Chez Toppall Inn is only available during Daddy's shift.
