Olivia eats the healthiest of anyone in our family. She just naturally wants to eat things that are good for her. I am jealous. Sweets just aren't really her thing. Today for lunch she had a leafy green salad with tomatoes and Italian dressing, and a Greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom, but she stopped eating it when she got to the fruit. So she ate plain greek yogurt.. eww I can't even stand the smell! And she washed it all down with her reliv. It makes me feel like I did something right that she really truly enjoys eating such healthy food.
Then I look at her sister... just licking the ketchup off her fingers, and eating a piece of bread. And I realize it's not me.
Welcome to the land of long days and short nights. Days that drag, and years that fly. Little sleep and lots of tears. But even more love and laughter. Where ice pops cure everything (almost), and kisses are given freely. Lullabies are sung out of key, and laundry never gets put away. This is my life as a mommy.

Yeah...we really can't take credit when our kids do awesome things, can we?
I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I have to drag Kendra out of someplace kicking and screaming...I can't take credit for the bad stuff either, right?
For the record, I happen to think you absolutely rock as a Mom. I seriously look up to you so much.
It really is amazing how different kids are! My kids won't touch a salad or tomatoes - but they LOVE fruit and carrots. It's fun to see Olivia and Abigail and their differences.
Lately I have become a huge fan of greek yogurt... it is so good! I do have to have the fruit on the bottom though. I haven't been brave enough to try the honey one... but YUM! If we all ate like Olivia, we'd be much healthier!!
Ashley - Thank you so much for your comment! You are too sweet. Totally made my day. And seriously, that's my motto - take no credit, take no blame. lol
