Okay, I know the picture above is of pizza, and it's no great accomplishment that I got my kid to eat pizza. What was amazing about tonight, however, was that while I was making the pizza, Henry was getting extremely impatient. He kept whining, and I kept telling him that the pizza would be ready soon. And then I realized he was pointing to a bowl and not the pizza...and then I listened closer. He was begging for broccoli. I almost fainted. I haven't actually made broccoli in a while, and couldn't believe that was what he wanted. I figured he'd just hold it and lick it, but he shoved the piece in his mouth, chewed it, and then asked for more. I honestly feel like some sort of miracle just happened. Happy day!
(As for the pizza, its just store bought whole wheat dough that I rolled out and then topped with sauce, cheese, broccoli, and olives).
Happy and (mostly) healthy eating!
Great post Ali! It always amazes me what kids eat. Mine are obsessed with spinach when they aren't eating junk.
