Miss Manners

We've been trying to crack down on Isla's manners lately - she is a bit of a slob at the table and has been very demanding lately. When we remind her to ask nicely she says, "Please" in an offhand way, but rarely spontaneously includes it in her requests.

Our first night of working on table manners we had beets and I made the mistake of motivating her to try them by showing her how to do "beet lipstick." It went downhill from there.

Last night we had beef au jus - here's a tip from present me to past me - don't give a two year old the jus in a beef au jus sandwich.

It takes all I can not laugh out loud during our table manners lessons. Her arrival at dinner dressed as an 80's celebrity at a ski resort didn't help.

Oh my, is that a bit of the "going against society" spirit there?!
