There's a backstory to this that you really need to understand to "get" the mega-significance of this major milestone event that will forever be noted in the Johnson-McCormick Family Anals of History (click here for it)...
Drumroll please people!..................
Tonight, at dinner, OWEN ATE RICE!
Every couple weeks for two solid years I've been putting rice in front of this boy... and tonight he ate it! Kyle's been eating it since December 30, but Owen still had refused it -- until tonight! We were having salmon, asparagus, carrots, salad...and rice... for dinner. I put about a tablespoon of rice on Owen's place, assuming he'd not touch it. We were all busily eating and conversing (well, as much as two thirty-somethings and two two-somethings "converse")... Braydon and I hadn't even noticed what Owen had or hadn't been eating. Suddenly he said, "Mama, look! I want more please." And he pointed to the blank place on his plate where his tablespoon of rice had been. I put a big helping of more rice onto his plate. He gobbled it up. He proceeded to request, and eat, thirds and then fourths! A big deal for us.
It is cute and all. But it is serious too. Two years out and our boy ate rice.
