Little lady and her junk food

I don't know if I have ever written about Ava's affinity for JUNK FOOD.  But this kid is seriously addicted!  It is a constant struggle each and every day to convince her to eat healthy meals and snacks.  She would eat junk for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let her do it.  Unfortunately, yesterday was one of those days.  And we paid for it this morning.

I woke up around 6:30am  because Ava was complaining of a stomach ache.  I brought her to my  bed and of course she threw up all over my clean sheets and pillow. GOOD morning Mommy!  I plopped her in the tub and tried to explain to her that her tummy probably felt sick because she ate sooooo much candy yesterday and that she needed to start eating better.  She sat there for a minute....I could see the wheels turning. She then said, "MOM, I know why I frew up!"...."It's cuth you made me take a bite of oatmeal yethderday!"

That is awful!! I am sorry. I have the complete opposite problem. When we take Owen to the store to pick a treat out, he picks out a veggie tray. I am not kidding, he has done that multiple times. We have to beg him to eat his meat, rice, or noodles. He always eats all his veggies first. He can't get enough. He says his favorite food is asparagus. One time he cried at the store because I wouldn't buy him spinach! He is such a strange boy. Don't worry, I have it coming to me. My little girl is a junk food junkie. She loves it already, & she is only 1. This will be very interesting.
