Stalling.....And Getting Green Back In The House

So let's just say that Braden is becoming very good at "stalling" at bedtime. This started a month or two ago..and he has continued to think of new and fun ways to get our of going to bed on time. :) They are quite entertaining I must say...and he is a smart little cookie. Some of the more common things that he does to stall are tell us that he needs another kiss (how do you turn that down?), tell us that he needs us to put his blanket back on...or he needs a different one, tells us that he wants to read more books, rock some more, or that he needs a drink of water. He really does try to stall for awhile once he is in his bed and we leave to walk out. You gotta love little toddlers right? They think they are so tricky. :)

Let's also talk about the same toddler living in my house (no names mentioned)....that decided awhile back that he did not really like any veggies anymore unless they were beans, corn, or a cucumber. :) I was having such a hard time introducing any other vegetables to him, and I was getting quite frustrated. It is really important to me that the kids eat healthy the majority of the time...and that they get a lot of fruits and veggies along the way.

I decided about a month or two ago to really start finding creative ways to incorporate those back into his meals......and over time it has worked! :) He is back to eating asapragus, sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, kale, eggplant, etc...and I am so stoked! :) At the same time we are stuffing baby Brant with every fruit and veggie we can as well. If you can puree it then you better believe that I will! HA! :) Our motto is "go green or go home" right now...and we are going for it every chance we get. :)
