Salad

For dinner tonight we had a rather delicious (if I must say so myself) roast beef with potatoes, carrots, green beans and salad. I cut up some tomatoes and cucumbers for the boys to dip into the salad dressing. Jameson declared that he wanted a salad too. I had my doubts but James dutifully threw together a quick salad for him too. I was so doubtful that I told Jameson if he ate his entire salad I would take him out for ice cream after dinner. I laughed as I said it because I truly believed that he would never be able to finish it. In the past he would try a leaf of lettuce and practically gag on it before spitting it out on his plate.
I have never seen that kid attack anything, let alone a vegetable, with such gusto. He polished off that salad so quickly it was amazing. All the while he was trying to determine what flavour of ice cream he wanted to eat. Not only did he finish his salad, every last leaf of it, he also polished off his meat and potatoes. I was impressed. He deserved the ice cream.
He ended up choosing vanilla. Kind of boring but he loves it. I chose pumpkin. I sure love fall!
