Like most kids, my girls have certain foods they love and those they would rather do without. Ella is no exception. She loves meat, noodles, rice, fruit, cheese, and of course sweets. Unfortunately, her longing for "treats" is probably due to the sweet tooth she inherited from her mommy. The one food that she almost always will refuse, or try to, is veggies...more specific CARROTS. Yes, everyday around noon, you will probably find Ella sitting quietly at the table longing for that carrot to just disappear. Of course to her disappointment it never does. She has sat patiently at the table for two hours now...we may hold the record. Before you call me harsh let me first tell you the details of these "carrots". I give her three baby carrots and usually dig through the bag to find the smaller ones...on top of that she gets a generous portion of ranch dip. Somehow the "dip" always seems to vanish long before the carrots. After lots of encouragement telling her how beautiful it will make her eyes (cause that's what my mom always told me), and the passing of many minutes, she somehow always manages to get that dreaded veggie down...
