Drew doesn't love eating healthy.
This won't stop me from making him eat fruits and vegetables.
At dinner, he has cucumbers and tomatoes to eat.
He said they were yucky.
I told him to at least taste it. He did. He gagged. But he ate it.
I looked at his pile of veggies and thought, "how am I going to get his food in this kid?" He can't just eat junk!
So then I thought, hmmm....Drew, I will give you two whoopers (malt balls) if you eat all your vegetables.
It was hard for him, but he did it. Gagging and all!
Then as he is getting ready to eat one I asked if I could have one.
He stopped, thought about it and said yes mom.
Then he proceeded to hand me one of his only two whoopers.
I said, oh no, Drew it is yours.
He said, No mom- one for me and one for you.
Then I said, I haven't finished my vegetables.
Then he said, I'll wait. And he put both down and waited.
He really has the kind of heart that I can learn from!
I don't think I'd share with Tim. Well, I might but with greater hesitation than Drew!
Drew is such a sweet kid. He's gonna make some girl really happy in the future.
