Nate, of course, loves them. So we were curious to see how Calvin would like them. I was certain he'd think they were disgusting. Mushed up baby food peas? Couldn't be anything worse (except maybe those Gerber stage 2 meats).
He scarfed that container down. And every subsequent one, too. Nate gloated, visions of father/son bonding over heaping plates of hot peas dancing in his head.
I was a little put out, as I was hoping for an ally in my fight against the nasty green buggers. Just as Nate swore he'd never make his kids eat beets, I swore I'd never make them eat peas. I wasn't counting on them wanting to eat peas.
So, imagine my delight when I gave Calvin regular old steamed peas on Saturday night, and got this reaction:
And moments later, he tried this old trick:
Which, when it comes to peas, I will totally let him get away with.

That's hilarious! At least he has a fun way of disposing them!

that's funny. he's so smart. pees are gross. your husband is a little weird in that regard. no offense. :)
I love peas. I give frozen ones to the kids when they are teething and they love them. Try some frozen peas and see how that goes.
I hate peas too - but beets on the other hand are delicious!
