Dinner is served...tonight it's....yep, squash...again.

After weeks of serving squash and zucchini from our garden to the girls, they finally relented and ate it without crying.

The plugging your nose thing did help, though.


I have never served them anything that had as big of a reaction as squash/zucchini did for Danielle and Ashley. Ashley is a big vegetable eater but she threw the biggest temper tantrum I’ve ever seen. For babies, I’ve heard that if you feed your child the same thing over and over again, they’ll finally get used to it and eventually start to like it. So I wasn’t giving up, and eventually she gave in. Afterwards she was very proud she did it and even ate more. Thank goodness we’re over that crisis. I did take pictures for evidence incase she forgets in a couple days when I serve it again.

I gotta admit I'm not the biggest fan of squash either! I would have been pitching a fit right with your girls probably! :)
