Most nights we fight with John at dinner. We fight over how many veggies to eat or how we need to eat and not just drink milk. I have discovered that when we have him eat a veggie he will chew it for easily two minutes straight. It has nothing to do with the size of the bite, it’s just that it is something he doesn’t want to eat. Tonight he had to eat carrots and zucchini. He finally worked up the strength to eat the zucchini and he chewed and chewed and chewed. The piece was smaller than a square inch. And then he says “The zucchini is good.” I asked him if he wanted another piece. He didn’t even hesitate “NO!”
