I'm having a GREAT time being a kid...

So here I am again apologizing to the handful of people that actually read this blog. Again, I'm sorry that I have no motivation to post because I keep thinking of other things to do and feel that I don't have time to keep up with this blog. I was also thinking that it was only two weeks since I last posted. I didn't realize that it was almost four weeks!

So anyway, I do have some things that I'm working on, but in the meantime, here's a quick one.

We've been trying to appeal to Julia to eat something that isn't popcorn chicken, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders or chicken strips. We do occasionally get her to eat ham, though. Now in the other food groups, we do get her to eat watermelon, grapes, strawberries, oranges, pineapples, green beans, corn and broccoli. So I guess that we could complain about more.

I think that Julia just likes to be in control, so whenever we've tried to get her to eat something, it usually involves a lot of tears on her part and anger on our part. We try not to be angry, but it's so irritating for her to not even try something.

So Laura was trying to appeal to her kid nature.

She said, "Julia, are you going to be eating nuggets when you're a grown woman?"

"I don't know."

"Well, you could be eating things that kids eat like spaghetti, pizza, hamburgers. I want you to eat these things while you can and have a good time being a kid."

Julia looked at her and said, "Listen, I'm having a GREAT time being a kid."
