Major Breakthrough!

All of you who know Pierce know that he is not a good eater. He is a committed vegetarian and is skeptical of all but a few foods (thus his thin frame!). Well, tonight I made an enchilada casserole for dinner: corn tortillas layered with green enchilada sauce, cheese, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and shredded chicken. As I was pulling it out of the oven (it smelled so good!), it occurred to me that neither of my kids were going to go for this for dinner and I hadn't really planned a back up... Oh well, it was 6:20 and everyone was hungry, so I slopped it on their plates, sat them down and went back into the kitchen to serve mine and Brett's. When I got back into the dining room I saw two children quietly eating their enchilada dinner with their forks. No complaining, no "What's this?," just quiet eating. I could not believe it. When Brett got to the table I told him we were going to have to say the blessing AFTER dinner because I did not want to disturb the beautiful sight of both kids eating so happily something I never thought they would eat. He agreed! Pierce and Sydney both had two servings and Pierce even ate the chicken in it. It was so awesome I almost cried!
