Some Corny Events . . .

Okay, that title is totally tongue-in-cheek.

        Something miraculous happened this week.  

Aftyn ate corn.

Now that may not sound like much, but you don't know Aftyn like I know Aftyn.

She has been averse to anything with a funny texture, 

too squishy, 

not sweet, 

too soupy, 

too vegetable-y

for as long as she's been eating food.  

So approximately 2 years and 2 months of her life.  

That's a LARGE majority of her life.

But last night, I witnessed a side of Aftyn I have never seen.

She ate and she ate and she ate that corn.  

She easily ate 3 tablespoons of corn, with no promptings and no help. 

Even better, it was the FIRST thing she ate on her plate of food! :) 

I wasn't sure if she'd have room for anymore food 

because it looked like she wanted to fill up on just corn! :)

The night before, there had been a miracle too.  

She ate noodles covered with sauce. 

Same story. 

Amazing.

The real kicker. 

She ate tomato soup last week.  TOMATO SOUP! 

Her WHOLE bowlful at that.

I used to HATE that stuff as a child.  

I never fully appreciated its fabulous flavor until I became an adult.  

Probably.

Aftyn calls this look "Princess Aftyn"  I call it crazy hair.  :)

So here's my hope:

for many more miraculous dinners 

in which Aftyn eats more vegetables, 

fruits and main dishes that she has 

heretofore shown nothing but contempt for.
