Is She Trying to Tell Us Something?

We went to Macaroni Grill on Wednesday with Krista & Greg. It was a lot of fun even though I didn't have pasta or bread (started the South Beach Diet this week). Anyway, Bekah was getting restless toward the end so I let her sit in Mommy's chair instead of the high chair to stretch the evening out a little longer. It bought me three minutes of her NOT whining and this photo:


Bekah saw the unfinished broccoli on my plate, grabbed both stalks, and voraciously shoved them in her mouth. She did it over and over again, taking big bites. She had eaten hardly anything of the over-priced kids meal we purchased--good, old-fashioned toddler staples such as chicken sticks and macaroni & cheese. But apparently the broccoli was talkin' to her. We got a good laugh and decided she might be hinting that our diet is less than acceptable for her refined palate.

I guess my decision to go all nutritious and eat more veggies myself is great timing for little health-conscious Bekah!
