Another weekly tuesday night conference for daddy, meant a night out to dinner with Papa!! The girls always get so excited to see him and it is nice change of pace for me. We are so so lucky to have my dad around when Barth gets busy with work...which is often times the case!
We ♥ Papa
This past Tuesday we went to Applebees...Ella's choice. On the drive over Ella had a very serious conversation with me about eating vegetables. She is NOT a fan of the veggies and I have been working to try and extend her palate beyond peanut butter & jelly, mac & cheese, and anything with sugar in it's contents..okay, so it is not as bad as I am making it, but she does really have a tough time with those green things. Back to Ella's conversation...she explained to me that since she was four now, she was going to eat lettuce, and that at dinner she would be ordering lettuce. I of course didn't think she would follow through, but I went along cause she was so cute about it. Fast forward to dinner...I placed her usual order with the waitress but quickly stopped when I looked over at Ella, who was on the verge of tears, who anxiously exclaimed, "mom..I told you I wanted lettuce...". This was monumental!! Without hesitation I added a side salad (and yes, she actually ate some), her smile was priceless!!
