Broccoli Isn't So Bad

Something miraculous happened this evening. Lena ate a piece of cooked broccoli! Of course, it was covered in delicious butter and parmesan, but still, it was a cooked green vegetable! Not pureed, not mixed with fruit, not dried or fried, or barbecued. It was straight from the veggie to the pot of water, to the bowl, to Lena's mouth. We're so dang proud!

Oh, and she also had some pieces of cauliflower, and a small, very small piece of boiled egg.

Hurray! And here are the pictures to prove it!

Playing with cheese, my favorite, and ignoring the broccoli.

I will not acknowledge that green vegetable.

Maybe I can stall by playing with my spoon?

Ok, I've held out this long, but it's time to try this nasty thing!

Hmmm...

It's not so bad...

MORE?! Ugh... I'm not so sure I want seconds.

Why did I wait this long to try broccoli! It's yummy, just like mama said!

I still like apples better.
