he ate what??

This next blog entry is truly news worthy!!!!!  For those who don't know, my almost 3 year old son Gavin does not eat what I like to call "people food."  He lives on yogurt and cold cereal.  Once a month, maybe a piece of fruit.  Sometimes pretzels, graham crackers, or gold fish, but THAT IS IT! He's never had meat,  or bread, and vegetables only a few times when he was a baby.  His eating habits seriously suck!!  And believe me, I have done everything I can think of to get him to eat, but he won't even give food a try. Until last night that is.  In a strange turn of events, Gavin sat down to the plate of food I served him, (I always give him a plate "just in case") and............ wait for it................. he ate chicken!!  He ate chicken I said!!!  It was completely unexpected, uncoerced, and made my entire week!  Not only did he eat the pieces I cut up for him, but he wanted a whole piece for himself, just like a good little carnivore.  Um, yes I got pictures.  This was most definitely an event I want documented!  I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief, my son is capable of eating like a human being.  Fingers crossed for our next meal, lets hope he doesn't forget how great it was!

  3. He probably doesn't like to eat meat because it's cannibalism... since he's such a stinkin ham!
