Healthy snack

Note to self never try to upload a post from the Ipad, because I am now having to rewrite this one.  Apparently it deleted the whole post that I had saved as a draft.  Oh well here it goes Healthy Snack take 2.

Josiah is always saying that he wants a healthy snack.  I guess he thinks that we won't tell him no if he ask for a healthy snack.  Sometimes his "healthy snack" is truly healthy like and apple, cheese, or banana; and other times it is cookies or candy that he wants.

The other day we went to Sam's and they were giving out ants on a log as a sample.  Josiah said that he wanted one so we gave him one.  I figured that all he would do was eat the raisins off of it then say "I don't like it", but I was wrong.  He did eat all the raisins first, but then he started licking the peanut butter.  I thought that he would start spitting it out, but  he said "Mum this is yummy."  Of course he dropped it before he tried the celery, but hey 1 new food is a start.  I have been trying to get him to try peanut butter forever.

We decided to make our own version of ants on a log, ants on a banana.  He thought that was the coolest snack ever.  I just made a small one with a fourth of a banana to start with because I was afraid that he would not eat it.  Well I ended up making the other 3 pieces of the banana look just like the first.

He ate the raisins off it first then he said that he needed a big boy fork, so got him one.  He used the fork to stab the banana and then he ate it off the fork.  Elaina was also having a snack in her chair, but she was having more fun laughing at her brother than eating her snack. 

I love this picture.  I can almost hear her laugh when I look at this picture and it does bring a huge smile to my face.  I am so blessed to have these 2 wonderful children.  I thank God for them everyday.
