Poor Kermit!


This is Kyler
(yes that is a paintball gun in his hand and yes that is paint on my fence! But that's another story for another time)
Like any typical kid he has foods he dislikes. I think he is being a tad picky but he is his own person I guess. Here is a list of a few foods he doesn't like...
*Cooked Veggies
*Jam
*Onions
*Cheese on his sandwiches
*Ketchup with his fries
*Tomatoes
*Fruit desserts
*Oatmeal
*Eggs
Ok so here's where I am going with this. Last night after a somewhat traumatic experience at the dentist for the both the boys, I took them to the China buffet next door. Kyler was begging and begging to go (buffets are the holy grail for him)and since I thought it would be a nice change from Mcdonalds...I agreed. Normally I would have just gone home to eat but the freeway was a major major mess due to all the flooding in the area. (That's right...snow ...rain and now flooding! Whats next? Locusts?) I thought the food was just ok, probably not the worth the price but that's not what matters here...What matters is that I can't get my kid to eat eggs or oatmeal but he is all gun-ho for this...

He started eating it before I could get a proper shot of it so I know you can't tell what it is but can I just say.....poor little Kermit! Yep, my kid is eating frog legs!. I had mentioned that I had seen them and imagine my surprise when he ran over and got some.

Frog Legs

Squid

Mussels

Crab

Shrimp (ok ok I like shrimp too)

Sushi

oh and this too....


Crayfish!

I could hardly look at the things on the plate. Those little legs and beady little eyes! It almost to much.


Oh no Kaden! Not you too?

I am still trying to decide if the whole experience (and the price!) was worth the blissful look on Kylers face as we walked out to the car.

Personally I think Frogs are friends....not food!
