Ronan and I have had a rough day. I don't know if it was the hazey, sticky heat outside or if he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but wow has it been difficult. At 5pm I sat down in front of the pantry to take an inventory of what we have (so watch out - at least part of list is coming!) Ronan was helping and he asked what the chicken broth was for. I explained that I can use it to make soup. He says, "Like Chicken Noodle Soup?! Can we make that now??" I said sure thinking maybe he'll actually eat something homemade for once.
Well, it's now 6:30 and I'm proud to say that Ronan was extremely helpful and ate the food he made!!
Granted he had seasoned chicken broth with chicken and pasta and kept the carrots on the side, but the point is he ate it!! I beefed up the soup for Pete and I by adding corn, peas, carrots and seasoned chicken. Now I'm just waiting for Peter Mike to finish nursing and Pete to get home so we can eat. It sure smells good!

I've found kids will eat the oddest (for them) things if they take part in the making of the end food. Though it can be messy, watching them eat a previous "that's yucky" is a great reward!
