"Give Peas a Chance"

Last night Matt and I were sitting down to a nice dinner of pasta and green beans. Matt ate all of his pasta and then moved on to the steamed veggies (he doesn't want any of his food to touch so he eats them separately). After a couple of bites I notice that he is making a funny face. It is the classic pained face you would see on a 5 year old who doesn't want to eat his veggies. His chewing slows, he opens his mouth further, and he attempts to swallow them whole with a cup full of water. Who knew that eating healthy might kill the kid? Well, it came down to the last few green beans and he refused to eat them. I had to bargain with him by telling him that if he ate 5 more green beans I would give him some watermelon. I felt like a mom for the first time last night!
Despite his disdain for vegetables we will continue to eat healthier.

I am eagerly awaiting for noon to come because that is when the humane society opens. I am going to look at the cats and hopefully adopt a new addition to our family.
