Brocolli anyone????

So....my crazy child LOVES brocolli. Last night I made a gourmet meal of Chicken tenders, french fries and brocolli. Interesting combination I know. But when you have kids, you need to include a veggie at every meal. Anyway....the point is, Monkey preferred the brocolli to the chicken or fries. He kept reaching out for the bowl, asking for more. He could have cared less about the scrumptious nuggets. I must say i am quite proud of this food preference. I take complete credit for my child being such a healthy eater. I've made it my mission to feed him every fruit and vegetable I can get my hands on. Friends and family are always on our case about what we feed Monkey. My mother is horrified that i feed him avocado and tofu dogs. You'd think people would appreciate the fact that we want our child to be healthy and have healthy eating habits. But apparently some see us as prudes (hello, i offerred him baked chicken nuggets and fries.) You should have seen the reaction of everyone at Monkeys birthday party when he showed no interest in his cake and ice cream. It took him a good 20 minutes to really dig in and start eating. Everyone there was so shocked that he had never had sweets before and was showing very little interest in eating them now. whatever. Excuse me if i don't want my child to be a morbidly obese diabetic If he's just as happy eating a bowl of peas, then that's what he's getting. I know the day is probably coming when he will revolt against all that is healthy and refuse to eat anything but cheesy poofs and slim jims. But hey, i've got a good thing going right now, and i'm going to enjoy it for as long as I can.

YAH!!! It's friday. Daddygoods is home!!! A break for mamagoods. phew.

P.S. Naps still blow. Today was a one napper day. About an hour and 20 minutes. Incase you were wondering, that's not long enough for a cranky 17 month old toddler and a tired worn out mama.
