This weekend we volunteered to take on two extra children. A boy and a girl, 7 and 4 respectively. We were expecting to have a great weekend. I’m not complaining. But I have been reminded of a lesson I learn every now and then. Our kids are not so bad.
We have a couple of picky eaters. I’m not fond of picky eaters. They add challenge to a part of the day that should be enjoyable. Sitting with the family over a meal to talk should be a favorite part of the day. I find it just isn’t true. And I blame the picky eaters for this. They whine, and nothing can ruin a meal faster than whining about the food; especially well made, healthy, and delicious food. We struggle with our picky eaters.
I bring up our picky eaters because we have these two extra children in the house. Guess what? THEY are picky eaters! My kids don’t even come close to being as picky as these two are. The lesson I have been reminded of is that though my kids are a work in progress, they are progressing! They are progressing and I need to relax a bit, because they aren’t so bad after all.
