I’m actually very surprised at how open Thomas has been lately to trying new foods.  Just tonight he ate some asparagus!  He even said that he liked it!  It really has been great that Thomas eats vegetables lately. 

I was beginning to worry that he was going to get rickets or something.  Even if I’m trying to scarf down a Lean Cuisine steak and cheddar panini, Thomas asks to try some of it.  He’ll take a bite and say, “Mmm, that’s yummy!  I like it!”  We can tell if he really liked it by whether or not he asks for more.  For instance, he did chew and swallow the asparagus but he didn’t ask for more.  One stalk of asparagus is better than none, I suppose.
