That happens around here as well if I mistime things. Our day fluctuates based on nap or no nap, etc. so sometimes I misjudge when DD is going to be hungry and when to start dinner. Last night she was tired and hungry and a disaster and ended up eating parts of dinner before it was all ready...just to get her fed and ready to go up for bed. She kept asking for apples, granola bars, yogurt, cheese, blueberries, or ANYTHING but the dinner I wanted her to wait for. If I had fed her snacks she wouldn't have eaten dinner but in reality it's not a big deal b/c at least she'd have eaten.
