3 adults, 3 kids, a bbq and one meal= a happy mom

Recently I posted about Hannah over coming her fear of riding a bike.  For us this is huge and very exciting.  It's been many years in the making.

This weekend, Parker overcame a hurdle.  For the past 4-5 years, he has been adamantly opposed to eating any meat other than breaded chicken.  I think it was a texture thing for him.   This makes mealtime very challenging and as a result, he eats a lot of peanut butter.   Recently he heard somewhere, either school or tv, that bacon actually tastes good.  So on Satuday, he and Hannah tried bacon for the first time.  Weird kids, I know.  But they liked it.  Later in the day, we were at the market and Jeff bought some beef jerkey.  Parker tried that too.  He liked it.  So Monday night we had our weekly supper guest, Geoff.   Steak and pork chops were barbequed and Geoff convinced Parker to try some steak.  Again, he liked it.  Amazing.  He actually sat and ate his entire supper without a fight.   He also had some pork which triggered Lydia eating it as well.  3 adults, 3 kids and one meal= one happy momma.   We celebrated with no name  oreos.  BBQ season may just have gotten more expensive though.

Yay, Lydia knows the proper way to eat an Oreo.
