While I wish I could say this about Leona's issues (which seem to be improving), I am actually referring to our "learn to eat what mom cooks" boot camp!  All the children were doing very well with eating what I cooked without much complaining for quite some time BUT I recently realized just how amazing the change was that took place, mostly in Samuel, age 4, who only liked pizza and peanut butter sandwiches-and liked NOTHING with a vegetable in it and who gagged on mashed potatoes.  I recently heard him say the following phrases "I like salad", "Can I have MORE salad?", and "Salad is my favorite vegetable!".  I was so excited!!  But the best thing happened when, on New Year's eve, when we had snacks-veggies, dip, and chips.  I let everyone pick the snacks they wanted (this means I did't MAKE anyone have veggies!).  I looked at Sam's plate and he had cucumbers on it -6 of them even!!  AND he ate them all!!  YAY!!!!!!   Ian (age 6) was eating carrots!!  WOOHOO!

Before I close for the day, I'll add a cute story about Sydney (2) and the baby.  Jeremiah is "her" baby she says.  It's a good thing too, since I might not know how to take care of my 8th newborn.  (Of course, with each one I DO seem to get more forgetful!!)  She is always telling me things like, " Mom, my baby's crying, can you nurse him?" and "Mom, I think my baby pooped, can you change his diaper?"  She's so cute!

Have a great day!!

"my baby" - that is SO cute! Our almost 2 yo is getting really interested in babies that our friends have and in babies at church. Until now each of my kids has had a new baby when they were 2yo. We'll see what God has planned for the next one. I would love for E to have a baby to play with, but I just don't know what will happen this time.

Glad to hear the kids are eating what you feed them! :o)
