Begging or stealing?

-
Luke has been watching us carefully while we eat for quite a while. We've been putting him in the high chair with toys during dinner, and so far that's been keeping him happy. Last night he was sitting in David's lap after dinner and nabbed a fistful of spaghetti. I had seen it coming, so the mess was avoided, and we'll never know what his true intentions were.

Today at lunch, I was cutting some chicken breast for Emmett with Luke in my lap. In a flash, he grabbed a piece and immediately pulled it to his mouth and started gumming it. Equally quickly, I took it back.

Maybe he was planning to eat that spaghetti. They say that begging is a sign of readiness for solid foods. I wonder what food stealing means.

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.

Thanks, Emmett.

At the first week of their ski lessons, David dropped Emmett and Luke off at their classes.  Yesterday David was starting his class, though, so I took them to their classes.  There are a lot of classes that meet outside, so there are signs up for each class - the big kids meet by letters and the little kids meet by numbers.  Emmett is in class "I" and Luke is in class 11.  The alphabet signs were clearly visible as we approached, but the numbers were behind some trees so I turned to ask Luke which way we should go around them.  Emmett helpfully called out, "See those signs?  My class meets by the one with a single line on it!"  Um, thanks for describing the letter "I" in a way I can understand, Emmett!
