So this is what we had for dinner...good 'ole spaghetti and asparagus. So I looked at Thomas's bowl to see where he was with his dinner as the rest of us where about finished. I noticed two delicious sprigs of asparagus. I kindly told him he had to eat those if he wanted some dessert. He told me he didn't like them. It has been awhile since he had scene asparagus as I typically buy produce in it's season(and I am so glad to have it back....YUM). Anyways we don't force food down the kids throats that they really don't like, we just make them try it or threaten them with no dessert(the later works most of the time). I decided to play a game with him. He has a great love for dinosaurs so I thought I would tell him that it was dinosaur food(he knows that some of them eat"greens") so he grabbed the sprigs and started calling himself some dinosaur(I don't remember which one as he knows most of their names and I don't) and he gobbled them down like it was an ice cream sandwich. That's not all, he asked for more and continued to eat 5 more. Ha! Just had to document where he gets his love for vegetables(a tricky mom). One of his favorites is broccoli and lettuce. Oh I am proud to call him his mothers boy!
See he LOVES his dinosaurs. I got him a book that is for bigger kids that can read but thought he would love the pictures. It's cute because he likes me to read it to him and loves to listen even though he may not fully understand the bigger words. I also know that I demolish their names. How did they come up with some of the tongue twisting names that they give each dinosaur anyways?? As I write I have a live dinosaur in my house growling at Avery and giving me a headache!!
