A Breakthrough

Avery has got to be the worst eater in the world! She doesn't eat any meat, hardly any vegetables and basically just likes snack food! I wonder how she stays alive! But the doctor says it's normal, so for now I am trusting him! Tonight might have been a breakthrough. I went to Sam's and picked up a very yummy rotisserie chicken (if you haven't had one, you've got to try it! for $4.88, it's definitely a bargain!). I came home and sat down in the floor of the kitchen and let Avery help me take it off the bone. It smelled so good and she kept asking for a bite. It was almost dinner but I let her eat it anyway because I was so happy that she was eating the chicken! After that she sat on the counter and watched me peel potatoes and chop them up for mashed potatoes. She loved sitting there and handing me the potatoes to cut and peel. She actually sat there the whole time! I know that there aren't many toddlers that would sit still for that long just watching someone do something, so I was very grateful that she did. Anyway, dinner was ready and we sat down to eat. To my surprise Avery asked for seconds on green beans and chicken! What a miracle! I am hoping that by typing this blog I don't jinx myself and she then goes back to her old ways. I hope that we have maybe turned a corner and now after watching me cook tonight she realizes how yummy real food actually is! Keep your fingers crossed!!!
