Hi! Noah here.
So. Since I last blogged, everyone has been all over my case about eating healthy. You know, organic and well-balanced and stuff.
Personally, I find this fairly offensive.
I mean, if you can’t live without food guilt when you can count your age on one finger, when can you enjoy your life?
And anyway, it’s not like I’m not trying. I make significant efforts to help increase the fiber in my diet on a daily basis.
(Toys are a form of fiber, right?)
But alas. The onslaught goes on. One thing I’ve been seeing come up a lot when I peek at The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy’s Facebook feed is the horrors of breakfast cereal.
So what if breakfast cereals have more sugar than a Twinkie – even the supposedly barfably bland ones like Special K??
Whatever.
All I can think about when I hear the word cereal is … TAS–TY.
But alas – the pressure got to me, so I traded in my favorite beverage to enjoy with cereal…
For a more healthy alternative.
Yes. Coke Zero and Corn Pops – it goes together like Peas and Carrots – only healthier!!
And anyway, I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
What? It’s good for you. Duh.
What’s that you said?? It’s going to rot my five teeth and poison my tiny liver???
Oh.
Well…
I guess I need to resort to more drastic health measures. I’ll demand a better alternative from The Servants and see what I get.
Whoa. You want me to eat …. what??
Okay. Okay. It’s for my longevity and the opportunity to have nice looking man calves one day. I can do this.
OhMyGoshOhMyGoshI’mGonnaDie.
Maybe they won’t notice if I spit it out, set it back down, and spread it out…
OKAY already. I’ll try it one more time…
No. The puky feeling is still there.
Come on back out, little broccoli…
What?? I have to try it … again???
Fine. I’m divorcing you servants as soon as I can legally do so anyway.
Watch me as I eat this bite with every bit of sarcasm and revulsion possible pouring out of my eyes…
I just want you to know that you people are cruel.
Waitta minute… that bite wasn’t half bad!!
Let’s try another just to make sure you’re not playing some sort of cruel joke on me…
What the…. ??? That one was good too!! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?!?!
MORE!!
NOW!!!
OR ELSE !!!
What?? A kid’s allowed to change his mind, isn’t he?
And anyway, broccoli shrapnel gives me a nice, manly beard. Clearly, it’s a win-win.
Such a cute post! I feel like I could insert my son’s picture in a lot of those. He used to gobble up veggies, and now he’s getting a little pickier. I find sprinkling a little cheese on that broccoli helps him gobble it right up. My son LOVES cheese.
Noah’s one holdout food hatred is cheese! He won’t even eat Pizza, weird kid.
My kids go through picky and ravenous stages. For a while, they’ll eat everything. Then they’ll start eating nothing. Inconsistency is key, they say.
I could eat him up! :)
How many teeth does he have? It looks like he doesn’t have a problem chewing it. Maggie has 6 teeth and I have been reluctant to give her broccoli. But, if Noah can do it, then maybe Maggie can.
Noah has five, but he’s been gumming food since before he had any. I could NEVER get him to eat baby food, so my doctor suggested I just try the real stuff. Chewing he totally got! He was even eating chicken bites before he had teeth.
Boys are weird.
Great Noah pictures, as usual. Love those baby blues! I can’t believe you got him to eat brocolli! My kids won’t touch the stuff…or most vegetables for that matter. Grr. Maybe I’ll show them this post and tell them its what the cool kids are doing. :)
He despised it for a while, but now he loves it! I’m sure he’ll hate it again soon, though. He loves to change his mind…
Yeah. its being a boy thats the cause.
My toddler LOVED cheese for a month and everytime we were out of stock he wanted exactly that..
We got bigger and bigger packs of cheese cubes for him just to keep them ready when he wants. Suddenly after paying for the biggest cheese pack, he now stopped eating cheese. So now to make sure it does not go waste I have to finish it up. Same with bananas. Same with potatoes. Same with everything else.
Grrr. If after ten years I resemble a balloon, we’ll know who to blame.
Boys. And they say girls take time to decide.
I just found your blog via the mom jeans post, and I just have to tell you that I LOVE it. Keep up the great blogging!
Thank you so much!! Thanks for saying hi, and it’s nice to meet you!
what a gorgeous boy!
Thank you! I tend to think so, but I figured I was pretty biased.
Hazel used to choose broccoli over french fries! I loved it. Love Noah’s faces too!
Noah stories are so stink’n funny… and those pictures go perfectly. Love it.
Ha! I completely adore this post. Your little Noah is too cute! : )
cute! my baby likes to have all his food with applesauce. i’m trying to break him of this habit. it’s either that or the bottle. and i’m not willing to fight the bottle war right now. good job baby noah.
Love Noah’s photos!!
