- Last Sunday I made a big "Sunday dinner" of which Johanna (almost 3 yrs)
- ate maybe 4 bites. Later as I was putting up all the leftovers she came
- in and asked for some of the turkey and she ate several pieces. Then
- she wanted some greenbeans (I told her they were cold) and she kept
- wanting another one so I put them in her snack cup and she went off
- happily. Imagine my anti-vegetable husband's face when she comes in
- with her snack cup (and her I'm not sharing with you face) expecting
- cheetos or cookies and she's got a cup of cold greenbeans. She
- ended up polishing off almost 12 ounces of greenbeans because she came
- back twice for some more "yummy" greenbeans.
