Girls are so much smarter than boys!
I guess I should really be saying "sneakier" than boys as I found that out this morning. When Avery was just a little one we saw signs that she had a GREAT aversion to any food with texture. She simply refused to eat that stage 3 baby food and I really couldn't blame her because those chunks of food mixed in with the smooth flavor were enough to make me gag at the sight of it let alone put it in my mouth. When she was three her eating habits hadn't improved much and she was then showing signs of being a vegetarian! I know, I know....how could that be in a family that hunts and then eats their prey? Well we knew when Jess had caught her spitting out her chewed up chicken in the toilet after she asked to be excused from the dinner table to go potty. Wow! Was all we could say. How did she know to do that? The boys NEVER figured out how to fool us like that and still can't to this day. Whatever food they are made to eat they do even if it takes them hours to finish it. That's why I was shocked again when I was doing a quick clean up job around the house and found vitamins stashed everywhere! I knew they were Avery's immediately since hers are the only white ones. The more I looked the more I found. Under my bed, under her bed, behind the dresser and even behind the toilet! When I finally found her to ask if she had been taking her vitamins she simply just shrugged and grinned still to sweet to lie. Saying she just didn't like the way they melted on her tongue. As much as I hope her honesty lasts forever I'm not that naive and I've definitely learned I need to clean much more often!
