Step 1: Find a way to make the diaper rash, which was improving, get worse so Momma has to take you to the doctor's office.
Step 2: When Momma picks you up for the mid-morning appointment, fall down adorably and show off your handfuls of sand so both she and the teacher are distracted when Momma explains that she'll be taking you to lunch.
Step 3: Endure the doctor's appointment. Cry until tears roll down your belly and shake your head no while both the nurse and doctor examine you.
Step 4: Behave at the drugstore, but make it clear you are HUNGRY.
Step 5: Enjoy a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries. Plot your next step.
Step 6: Cry again when Momma leaves you at daycare so she doesn't think to explain about lunch to the woman filling in for the regular teacher, who is on lunch break.
Step 7: Enjoy your sandwich and green beans.
When I picked up the empty green bean container that afternoon, it didn't register that he'd had two lunches. I noticed only after I put him in his carseat, looked at the daily activity log and saw a check next to "I ate everything today."
Everything, indeed.
