Another Big First

Tonight we had another big first moment for Maher.  Tonight, he ate SALAD!!!!!!!!  Ok so it's not really a huge milestone like walking or talking but this kid has become an anti-veggie 3 yr old as of late and tonight was a big step in his nutritional standards.  Of course there was a gob of ranch with each bite but hey the spinach and spring mix made its way into his little belly!  As with most of his success I contribute the motivation for this on our recent visit to Gia and Poppy's and the Blaxton cousins.  He once again witnessed veggie greatness by older and one younger cousin and was eager to try some new foods for Gia.
 
Using the TONGS, not tongues...
 
Getting his fourth serving (ok so it's more like 4 more pieces, I didn't want him to go over board and have to throw a lot out)
 

Inspecting the spinach

Adding plenty of ranch

"It's yum, yum, yummy in my tum, tum, tummy!"

Wow that's a first for us as well! To have a positive influence on a cousin! Glad he didn't pay attention to our oldest.

Good Job Maher!
