Mother's Day

Mother's day 2011 was a pretty laid back day in our home this year..... I casually worked on laundry and putted around the house. The boys were on their best behavior (kind of) and Andy cooked his mom and I an awesome steak and potato dinner. It was great! The best present or reward of being a mom are my two little boys (as cheesy as that sounds). One memory I will keep from this mother's day is that the eating habits of the boys shifted a bit tonight. As most people who are around my boys, for any length of time, probably know that they are picky eaters. They like to stay with their "safe" foods....rarely venturing out. But tonight, John requested to eat STEAK!! After eating a hot dog, he decided he was still hungry. We gave him the option if he tried some steak, he could have an ice cream bar for dessert....well the ice cream trick worked, he tried the steak and loved it. William on the other hand doesn't eat meat and was eating a PB & J for dinner, he wanted to try a baked potato! I gave him the same option of trying the "new" food and ice cream and again....It worked!! At least it's a step in the right direction..... After dinner we went outside and the boys received their prize "ice cream". They requested I take pictures of them, which also never happens.....and these are the out comes of those photos! How blessed I am!
