My kids eat peas!!! I know, not really a news story, but in our house, it kind of is the headliner around here. I have been blessed with one very picky eater, and one somewhat adventurous eater. One will eat chicken nuggets, ham and cheese sandwiches, pizza, and hot dogs. The other will eat chicken and rice, steak and carrots, macaroni and cheese. I sneak in whole wheat where ever possible, organic food when available, and fruit, anywhere I can. Thank goodness they eat fruit! But until recently, the only green thing either of them would eat was an occasional piece of lettuce. Until the peas! Seriously, they can't grow fast enough. I have considered turning the rest of our garden into a pea garden, just to encourage this love of green veggies. They scan the vines, looking for fat pods, and shout for joy when I deem one worthy of picking. Maybe I should plant some broccoli next!!!

YAY! I bet you anything its because they are proud little farmers! How cute!
(My little adventurous eater who used to raid my mom's exquisite garden eating all veggies in sight, has now declared "people change, Mom" and won't touch a tomato, broccoli, or sweet pepper. At 5 he likes to let me in on these little tidbits about human behavior. "People change" as he shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly.)
Such wise words from such a wise little man!
