You told me it would happen
Please don't be offended that I didn't believe you - I didn't believe all the books & articles I read that told me the same thing either.
But here I present to you:
My daughter eating corn. I realize corn is not green, but it had a huge impact on my attitude. I think the word is hope. If she can pick up corn & eat it after all these months of rejection, maybe she can pick up something else and eat it eventually.
And, if that wasn't enough to bolster mommy's spirits, she also went to sleep without argument last night - the first time in almost 2 weeks. I was beginning to think that was our new night routine - I lay her in her bed, she screams in protest. But last night was just like the old days. She just rolled over on her tummy & prepared to go to sleep. Sweet!

congratulations! :-) isnt is amazing how encouraging a little progress can be? when we're in the middle of the latest obedience-issue, it definitely helps to remember the previous milestones.

I'm so glad that she's giving you glimmers of hope. Watch and see...she'll be a veggie lover yet!
Bob...I know what you mean about the obedience issues. My near four year old thinks it's incredibly funny for us to tell her to stop doing something, and she'll look right at us and do it again. Makes me downright furious, and she thinks it's funny. No wonder my gray hairs are multiplying!!! And I've got an 11 month old and another on the way. I'm either going to be completely gray by the time I'm 40, or I'll just be bald from yanking all my hair out. You gotta love them, though! for all the frustration and hard work, there's nothing like being a parent. Best job I've ever had!
