the fact that my children are eating just about anything we put in front of them these days makes me really giddy! after fighting canon for about a year at every single meal, this is just a nice change of pace. both boys have hearty appetites and ask to eat often. they eat a full, well-rounded meal, and usually ask for more which is a bonus!
not only am i loving that they eat, i love how they LOVE fruits and veggies. they get 2-3 helpings of each a day. it blows my mind that this time last year canon would only eat cornbread and mac-n-cheese. that's it. somedays yogurt. somedays cheese. but never fruit and veggies. we had to hide his fruit in his oatmeal. ledger started out a good eater, but around 9 months became super picky for a short period of time. he's back to eating anything and everything he can get his hands on or get someone to feed him off their plate.
i started thinking about how grateful i was for this period of good eating while the boys were snacking on a banana. just a few months ago, ledger would tighten his lips and turn away if a banana came within a foot of him. i'm not kidding. it was really funny. he never liked them until 2 months ago. and canon, would only eat them smashed or mixed in with something. now they sit by each other after breakfast and share bites of bananas (this is breakfast #2. sometimes we even have a #3). and i never thought my kids eating a banana would well up emotion in me, but it just feels wonderful to have healthy kids who desire to eat! #thingsthatmakeamomhappy :)
