HI Jenni:

 

That is so wild... I remember one time going to the grocery store with my

son who was maybe 6 or 7 at the time and I really only had few dollars with me

to buy whatever I needed and my son saw the package of slice cantaloupe and oh

did he want it... I think I did end up getting it. Once when he was 4 we

were out to eat with a some friends and he would normally have gotten the

children's salad bar however his friend ordered chicken nuggets and so did

he...

I had to bribe him with pieces of green pepper and cucumber to eat what he

ordered. I new he wasn't going to like it because at that time he didn't like

food like that.

He is now 18 and he still loves salads.

 

He is not vegetarian.

I swear Gayle.. we are just so alike sometimes...it's almost scary!

So many times you have posted , and I thought, I don't remember

writing that..but it sure sounds like me! lol

 

my kids have always loved veggies... I'd take them to the farmer's

market... Jacob ... at about 3 would ask for, and eat a whole

cucumber... he'd just munch and much !

 

they still get diluted juice... drink water most of the time..

 

and now Jacob is almost 10 (january! ) and Gwendolyn is 7 1/2!!!!

 

=)
