His favorites are yellow peppers, corn on the cob, and onions. Plus he loves garbanzo beans. Add a little oil and some pepper to the beans and you have yourself a happy Owen.
Because of him, I make sure the fridge is stocked with veggies. I feel guilty if we don't have a vegetable with lunch/ dinner just because of the fact, he will eat his veggies so if he doesn't, it was because I was too lazy to give them to him.
Now don't get me wrong. He is not a health nut. If he knows there is chocolate or a cookie anywhere in the house, he will whine persistently until he gets it. (He loves chocolate.) But as long we keep veggies in front of him, he happily snacks on them. He is some of the best motivation we have to eat healthier. Thank you Owen.
Post script: Owen's shirt says, "I'm 2 and there's nothing you can do about it." My mom, Debby, got it for him in Seattle. Some days that shirt is way too appropriate.

What a cute kid eating a HUGE yellow pepper! Gosh, glad to hear he loves them so much. :0) Hey, by the way, what does his shirt say? It looks like a shirt I got Tejas when he turned 3 . . . it said "I'm 3 and I can do it all by myself!" It was that same blue color, too. Perhaps whomever got Owen that T-shirt got it from the Pike Place Market? :0)
Love to you all, Mom / Grandma Bug
I thought that was Tejas's shirt till I noticed that there was a 2 on it. I'll have to send down the 3 shirt so it can be worn again. Love, Trina
