Singing the praises of....McDonalds?

Okay...so everyone who knows our daughter KNOWS that getting her to eat anything at all is next to impossible. So when we stopped at McDonalds the other day and I saw that they now offer apple slices with the happy meal and have replaced the larger fry with a smaller one I was in love!

Why? Because in the past she would have automatically chosen the fry over the apples. And now.. well she can have both and that means she will EAT both. HOORAY!

Look at the tiny fries and the apples!
The fries are so small and cute! (see above compared to the milk). This may not seem blog worthy- but believe me when I say that I am happy to celebrate small victories with this child. I think the last time I saw her eat a full meal was like 15 months ago (Clint back me up here).....

So today I am singing the praises of the Golden Arches because not only did my daughter eat her whole meal- but she ate apples too and thought it was a really cool thing because it was part of her kids meal!

Happy meal with apple slices and chocolate milk consumed + Smiling daughter= One happy mom!

Boy... how kids meals have changed over the years.... but I am happy to see her eat the whole darn thing ( and I should note she chose chocolate milk instead of pop- another victory!) Now if I can only get the BOYS on board.......cauliflower with an angus burger maybe? I am not keeping my fingers crossed!
