In college I took a class where we studied The 5 Stages of Grief. That knowledge has come in handy when introducing vegetables to my children. Eden started the process and successfully followed through all of the necessary steps to be at peace with her new diet.
The vegetable in question was green beans. She, of course, started her "session" in (1) DENIAL. Even though her rice cereal was suddenly green, she decided to believe it was still the same old rice cereal; oh but no. The following 15 minutes ran its course as expected.
(3) BARGAINING
(4) DEPRESSION
(5) ACCEPTANCE
We will follow the same plan next week when we move on to peas. But I expect her to move through the process much quicker next time. I am so proud.

How do you even remember anything you learned at Ricks, because all I remember is our wild and crazy times! Look how cute that little face is. I love "depression" the most.
Hillarious! She is doing quite well, moving through her stages of grief. I still have the same reaction when I eat vegetables, so really, the girl's a genius!
