Tonight for dinner I cooked some fresh out of our friends garden Broccoli. It was perfect! Our rule at the Poulson house is you have to have ONE bite of dinner...
Liam knows this rule and has reluctantly over the last year choked down a countless number of different things. He is so obedient. He almost always gags, and then with tears running down his face says, "I did it!"
Tonight was a little different. I put the Broccoli on the table and he said, I don't want any trees for dinner.
To which I countered, "But how do you know you don't like trees if you've never tried them?"
He didn't say anything and finished ALL but the broccoli and I said come on each this tree in a silly voice and making it walk like a little tree person..."Mmmm Liam don't I look good?..."
He took the bite swallowed (Gagging all the while) then a few minutes later up it all came. And it wasn't only the broccoli.
I needed up getting to do a load of wash and telling my self, you have to give him credit. He said he didn't like it, ate then showed me how much he really didn't like it...
I think next time I will let him pass on that bite!

multiple comments needed....first, I can't believe he chucked the entire meal back up but i'm up for trying some veggie animation in our home if it will help get them down the tube. Second, I love all of Liam's quote but am glad the rainbows are gone and am ready to get some time at the pool. Third, glad you found a use for the water soaker...haven't tried that one yet! Fifth, Owen just cracks me up and I just can't believe what a climber he is. Sixth, we are back and ready to play.
Curtis did this SAME THING with pineapple (come on, pineapple! It's a fruit for crying out loud!). You generally have to try everything at our house, too, but when I serve pineapple, Curtis gets a pass.
Tell Nate hello for us! And your cute boys!
