We didn't need grapes today...

but we got Zoe to eat *some* chicken that wasn't in the form of a nugget tonight. She first looked at it and said "no" (which is Zoe for "you ain't getting me to touch that with a ten foot pole!"). But, we all sat down with our meal, and Zoe picked up her fork, like we did, and she gave it a taste...and another, and then declared "mmm, it's good!" She then ate a few more bites. She refused the cooked peas (no surprise, she only likes them frozen!). She had some more chicken, some bread, went back to the chicken for a couple of small bites, and then said, "no, thank you" (yes, she really did say all three words, my polite little thing) and handed Noah her plate. When she does this, we won't be able to get more food into her from said plate. Then she had some frozen peas and was a happy camper!

What was the meal? Nothing fancy, and something I was SURE Zoe wouldn't eat. I had put two chicken breasts in the crock pot with condensed cream of chicken soup, let it go and shredded it. Noah and I had it on crusty french bread, but Zoe had it on a plate with the other pieces separate. (and yes, the meal was QUITE good, especially for a snowy winter day like today!)

Go ZOE!
