Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?

If you are what you eat, then Kallie is going to start looking pretty interesting. The other day, I left a green bell pepper sitting on the kitchen table while I went to do something else. When I came back, it looked like this:

...Well, it was a little more intact when I first found it. Have you ever known a child who likes to eat peppers like apples?

Since it was Kallie's nap time when she started gnawing on it, I put it away until her usual post-nap snack time. When I placed it in front of her again, she got this "I'm so excited!" look on her face, (and if you know Kallie, you know the face), and she went to town and had it finished off before I finished the dishes. This kid LOVES peppers...and actually most vegetables. In fact, at the family SuperBowl party on Sunday, she ate about 5-6 mini bell peppers, a couple of handfuls of pea pods, and at least a handful of cherry tomatoes before I finally moved her away from the veggie tray. Compare that to the birthday party she went to last week where she ate two bites of cake and refused to eat any more. At this point, I'm glad she didn't get my sweet tooth, but seems to have inherited Ryan's broccoli tooth instead. Hopefully, it will serve her well in the future!
