Brussel Sprouts

I've been trying to get the girls to eat brussel sprouts. They're my favorite vegetable and have been ever since I was little.

Odd? Possibly.

They have both tried them before, but to no avail. So I tried again tonight. I watched Emma nonchalantly put one in her mouth. The look on her face was enough. And then she spit it back out on her plate. "Ock! THAT. Is disgusting."

I look at Olivia's high chair tray and hers are gone. I've won! One of my kids is going to like brussel sprouts, just like me. So I put more on her tray and watch her with pride. Without thinking twice, she reaches over and drops them on the floor to the dog. One right after another.

Defeated.
