Short story – on Mondays we usually have baked salmon, turkey burgers (because Ben doesn’t like salmon) and brussel sprouts. The kids eat a little of everything, starting with the salmon because the burgers are strategically not placed on their plates first. Lately, Tucker has taken to squirting ketchup on his plate and dipping any and everything in it, including the salmon and brussel sprouts. Ben has declared a household rule against dipping fish and vegetables in ketchup, but in my opinion, I’m just happy they’re eating salmon and brussel sprouts regardless of what it gets dipped in.
Most nights, Mondays included, Emilia eats all of her protein and very little vegetable. Tucker eats all veggies and picks at the protein. Tucker will generally be excused after he’s eaten enough of the protein on his plate and will head to the playroom. Meme on the other hand will announce she’s done (to join Tucker in the playroom) and then take another fistful of food. After she’s checked out the playroom she will come back and either ask for more food or sneak into Tucker’s seat and eat whatever meat is left on his plate.
That’s my girl.
