Wonder of Wonders

Anyone who knows me well knows that I do not like most veggies. There is just something about the taste, smell, and often the texture that makes me want to gag! I do not eat them on a train or in a plane or in the rain. I do not eat them here or there, I do not eat them anywhere, lol. That's why it's a wonder to me that my kids LOVE vegetables! If I were to give Holly the choice between ice cream and raw carrots with ranch, she would pick the carrots 9 times out of 10. Alyssa is the same. We had pizza and cake for her birthday, but all Alyssa wanted to eat were the cherry tomatos. It's completely bizarre yet incredibly wonderful to me! I was making dinner the other night and asked the girls if they would prefer applesauce or mixed vegetables with their meal. As if I had prompted them to do so, they started chanting...veggies, veggies, veggies, while pumping their fists in the air. It was so cute, and unexpected. I quickly grabbed the video camera and was able to partially recreate the moment. I love that my kids love vegetables!
