Last night, when The Big Boy saw his much-older cousin stirring his salad INTO his pasta, he ended up asking for some leaves for his noodles too. I gladly obliged (since he so rarely eats greens), but was mortified to watch him eat it all together.<BR/><BR/>Maybe your idea isn't so strange after all...Sarah Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046888690482366164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-87054744661236703382008-08-23T08:56:00.000-04:002008-08-23T08:56:00.000-04:00"and if a child chooses to eat meat, that is his p..."and if a child chooses to eat meat, that is his prerogative, but he will have to endure mom sitting at the other end of the table mimicking the animal’s natural cute sounds while said animal is being eaten.

They all drink it up (I have to sneak the greens in when they're not looking though, which can be tricky). ;-)FLmom7https://www.blogger.com/profile/00149946237721680495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-4648275063997901692008-08-22T18:58:00.000-04:002008-08-22T18:58:00.000-04:00Holly, that is really funny.

I have convinced Ray that the display of cookies and cakes by the coffee counter at the bookstore is an art installation. He always grumbles and says, "That sure does look some yummy art."Sarah Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046888690482366164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-31332346480134008562008-08-22T15:56:00.000-04:002008-08-22T15:56:00.000-04:00my brother and i both went thru phases where we re...my brother and i both went thru phases where we refused to drink water. so, secretly of course, my parents would fill a pitcher with ice, top it off with water, and let it all melt in the fridge to super-cool it. they called it "magic elixer water" and we were fooled by it till we were like 12... which now that i think about it is just sad :-P<BR/><BR/>...not that i won't do it to my kids too :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312891833619993019noreply@blogger.com
