I have written before about Sam's willingness to eat anything set in front of him. I know a lot of moms who have to hide vegetables in their children's food. I consider myself lucky to not have to worry about that, but I assume it is only temporary. I keep waiting for the day that Sam starts to refuse certain foods.
Wally, during his harvest deliveries, gave us several tomatoes from his sister's garden. I love tomatoes but clearly remember not liking them when I was a child. Yesterday I made myself a BLT for lunch and figured I'd save myself the work of fixing two meals by making one for Sam, too. I thought that at the least, he'd eat the bread.
Well, Sam is Sam, and he ate his 1/2 sandwich before I could take more than two bites out of mine. He then strained himself reaching for the bowl of tomatoes on the counter. He ate raw, plain tomato as fast as I could dice it onto his tray.
We eat lunch fairly early in the day. When we got home from the library at 4 pm, we were both hungry. I opened the refrigerator to look for something for dinner, not noticing Sam slipping in front of me. He grabbed a tomato out of the bowl and took a huge bite out of it like he was eating an apple.
Sometimes being his mom is just exhausting.
