Little Trees

When I was little I remember my grandma calling broccoli "little trees" so I would eat them. I thought it was pretty cool and it did encourage me to chow down. Henry has not been swayed by my cute comparisons (I am not sure he really understands them!) or the fact that I have put insane amounts of butter and cheese on veggies to tempt him. So far we have peas and the occasional broccoli mixed with macaroni and cheese on our menu despite my many attempts to introduce every vegetable possible.

This evening I was steaming some broccoli for the above mentioned mac n cheese and I dropped a piece on the ground. I was in no rush to pick it up and thought a dog would help me out, but one minute later I looked over and Henry was on the ground eating raw broccoli!!! He was devouring it and ate 3 whole pieces. Yes this is what equals an exciting day for me now as a Mom and I love it!
