Eat Your Veggies

McKenna used to eat all sorts of veggies…carrots, broccoli, peas, beans, etc.  Since about 18 months of age, she has cut every vegetable out of her diet except carrots.  Hence, we eat a lot of carrots here.  I always put a few veggies on her plate, but they go untouched every night.  For about 6 months, I’ve not seen her touch anything but a little bit of corn and carrots…until last night.  I steamed carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli.  I put a lot of carrots, and broke down one small bit of the other two.  I made a big deal of the white and green trees on her plate.  She said “white trees?” and began to eat the Cauliflower!!!!  Then, she found the “green tree” and ate that too.  She proceeded to eat 4 servings of trees!  I don’t know what got into her, but I was so stunned we took a video.  Tonight was lasagna – so I didn’t get to see if this was a one night wonder or a new love of trees.
