"Tree Grass"

Notice the little specks of broccoli all over his chin and cheek? He is so stinkin' cute!!!

We ordered pizza tonight for dinner. Of course I had to throw out something more healthy than just greasy pizza, so I made up a veggie plate with baby carrots and broccoli. I was pretty sure it was a shot in the dark that my kids would eat the broccoli. Aubrey ate some carrots with ranch, but turned her nose up at the green stuff. Wesley on the other hand, took me by surprise when he grabbed a huge piece and said, "mmmmm! Mom, I like grass!" I was so taken back by it! I have offered him broccoli cooked and uncooked time and time again and he'd never go for it. He always made the "Yuck!" face and gag sound and turned away. Anyway, after examining the "grass" and a few bites later he says, "this is trees! Tree grass! mmmmm!". I was cracking up. I did teach him that it is really called broccoli though. I don't want any confusion next time.
