Ok, so this happened.
Sam’s teacher emails the parents a pdf newsletter on Fridays about what they did that week, the books they read, important dates, etc. She always includes pictures of the class doing things, which I really appreciate. It is hard to not want to see everything that goes on during Samantha’s day. So, Mark was asking Sam who everyone in the pictures was. When Sam got to one photo, she says to him, “That’s Aiden. He told me he likes me. Then he said, ‘You’re my girlfriend.'”
Um. What? We asked Sam if Aiden was nice and she said yes, but she looked sort of amused by the whole thing. I mean, of course, he would want my gorgeous daughter to be his girlfriend. Duh. But…maybe not so soon. I’ve got my eye on you, Aiden….

I probably mentioned a bunch of times that Sam’s picky eating habits have always concerned me. It is very hard to get her to eat, not only quantity, but variety. There are so few things she will eat and trying to get her to taste something new is difficult if not impossible. I was tired of fighting with her about it, so, on the advice of a book I read, I backed off. No more pressuring her to try new food, no more sticking food on her plate and expecting her to eat it. Well, I am not sure what happened, but lately, I have been noticing a distinct difference in how Sam perceives food. Maybe it was my changed behavior, maybe it’s watching the kids at school eat lunch, or maybe she’s just growing up (or maybe it’s a combination). At any rate, I am so happy she has been trying so many different foods! She doesn’t like all of them, and that’s ok by me. But she is trying. And she actually comes to me and says, “What do we have? I feel like trying something.”
Lately, she has tried bell peppers, strawberries, string cheese, provolone and swiss cheese, oranges, a whole bunch of new candy, glazed donuts (she would only eat the frosted kind) and I don’t know how many other things. I am actually losing track! It is hit or miss what she likes or does not, but I have actually found new food she will eat. Hallelujah!
Here she is cutting up orange slices. She didn’t actually like them, but she said she liked the juice so she sucked it all out! Yay, Sam!!
