Kudos to Caleb

I just wanted to give kudos to Caleb for becoming such a good eater lately, just like his brother! Gone are the days of turning his nose up to veggies, and he's no longer stingy about how wide he opens his mouth to an incoming spoon. He used to open his mouth ever-so-slightly and then clamp it shut when the spoon was only a third of the way into his mouth. This little trick of his was a daily test of our patience. For months we adamantly insisted that he eat veggies every day, even though sneaking them into his mouth was a struggle more often than not! As a general rule we fed him veggies for breakfast before he'd tasted anything sweet, and we also mixed them with fruit and meats. I knew that he had turned over a new leaf when he willingly ate plain green beans (which admittedly taste pretty bland) this past week! Way to go, Caleb! You've come a long way!
