There is a ton and ton and ton of rain here today. What better to do than make a little mess?
We had some whipped cream in a can left here from a potluck dinner, and we are more of the heavy-cream-whipped-up-in-a-bowl kind of folks. No fear, I put it to good use. I gave it to Burl to play with.
He had fun with it, until I gave him some to eat. He literally gagged on it. That wasn't a big surprise to me though. Burl is a picky eater...he hates mushy food...it's real food or nothing for him. The more texture, the better.
I kept trying to give him some to eat, and he would close his eyes. Broseph came in and tried to give him some on a spoon, but he would have no part of it. Eyes and mouth shut tight.
We quit "torturing" him with eating it, and Broseph handed him a spatula.
That's when the real fun started. He played and played and played while I made lunch.
Lunch was served-Broccoli. Burl. Was. Thrilled.
He was so excited about the broccoli, that he fed himself for the first time ever! I have to say, I'm feeling proud.
The whole thing was a success and seem to put some extra fun into our day!!!
LOVE these pictures. so cute. he reminds me of your brothers in these!
ReplyDeleteBroccoli sure gets a bad rap - all my kids have loved it, to the point we would have to wait to serve it (my mom used to hide the bowl from my sister and I). I love that second picture - what a face!
