A Great Dinner

For dinner we grilled steak and had baked potatoes and corn tonight. It's one of our favorite meals and everyone always enjoys it except for, you guessed it, Julia. I seriously thought I was in the twilight zone tonight though. Before we sat down, Julia came and told me that she was going to try her steak and if she liked it she would eat it allllll up. I didn't really believe her.

We sat down and I gave her the benefit of the doubt by putting a bite of steak on her plate with her other food. Without hesitation she put it on her fork and put it in her mouth. She went on and on about how yummy it was. We told her it would help give her good ballerina muscles so then she wanted another bite. Wow! She even tried her potato and ate some of her corn. Are all of our efforts to get her to try new foods finally paying off? It was such an an enjoyable meal.

(Except for the part where Daddy's hand stuck to the cracker package which in turn knocked over his coke. The coke spilled all over the table under all the dishes and through the cracks and even onto the plate of steaks. This was before we had started eating. Someone was bound to spill though because I had just mopped the floor. Isn't that one of Murphey's laws? I think the coke made the steaks even better. Not sure.)

The kids are now in the living room enjoying a special movie night with popcorn and chocolate milk. I love Friday nights! I miss the days of not having a child in school. Life really changes quick once kindergarten rolls around.....
