Jamie and Connor absolutely love feeding Annibelle. She gets wet food in the morning and at night and they are both desperate to be the ones delivering the food. Except that it kind of freaks them out. Having Annibelle meowing anxiously and winding around their feet while one of them holds the bowl seems to make them unable to put it down, which just makes Annibelle more excited. Jamie will eventually put it down, laughing all the while, but Connor will start to cry and eventually will drop the bowl and run away, which is messy. So now, when it is Connor's turn Jamie restrains Annibelle while Connor makes a break for it. He then sets the dish down and takes off before she gets there.
Jamie is always pleased by how excited she is and likes to say "Annibelle, do you think it's your birthday?" as he's delivering the Whiskas. Apparently, however, he does not wish to be treated in the same way. Breakfast is always a battle with him, but lately we've been having success with waffles, to go with the inevitable Gummi-bear vitamins. I've also been giving him raisins lately since this one fruit he'll eat pretty reliably. When we find something that workds with him we tend to try and ride it as long as we can, so we'd given this to him for a few days in a row and were pleased with the consistent success.
But on Saturday morning I produced this meal and he sighed exasperatedly and said, "Dad...I'm not Annibelle! I don't want the same thing every day."
