Cauliflower chips???

How do you get Alli to eat tons (and I do mean handfuls!) of raw vegetables?  Tell them they are chips . . . tonight, we had "cauliflower chips" ;-)  She loved them!!!  The girl is too funny.  She is very much like her mommy in that she is quick to tell us she doesn't like food, long before she sees, smells or tastes it.  Unless it is chocolate that is ~ the girl has a major sweet tooth!  A lie, yes but there are some battles I just don't want to deal with and eating is one of them with Alli. 

We were on our own this evening since G has class Tuesdays and Thursdays so I never quite know how dinner and bedtime will go but both kids were extremely cooperative.  After Eli was down and Alli and I were watching Bedtime Praise Baby, she actually asked for a NutriGrain Bar and proceeded to down it in about 5 minutes.  I swear, some mornings, it takes her an hour to eat one.  Guess she was a hungry gal!

Eli had a fabulous day as usual ;-)  That boy is such a little angel and I feel so blessed to have him in our lives.  He is cooing, smiling and giggling up a storm these days, all of which warm my heart.  Today was another first for him . . . he picked up his lion and hugged it before putting it in his mouth.  This was the first time he ever picked up a toy and stuck it in his mouth.  What a sweetie!!! 

I just love being a Mommy!  These two are the most demanding "bosses" I've ever had but I don't think I have enjoyed life more . . .
