Tasha Goes Blue: Eat, Drink & Be Messy
Don’t you wish you could enjoy eating as much as kids do? Watch your son or daughter eat their next meal. They lick their fingers, smear it all around on their plate and make the most delicious little noises. They truly relish their food! Now, my boys have been known to scarf down a meal like nobody’s business. I’m talking, “did you chew that” kind of consumption. But at the end of the day, my kids enjoy their food far more than I.
And what about what they eat. I make sure my boys eat a healthy balance of foods, you know, the good ol’ food pyramid. Yet I am perfectly happy to throw a few pieces of scraps in my mouth here and there and call it a meal. So it’s got me thinking….what if I ate like my kids ate?
I would certainly eat a more healthy and balanced diet and dessert would be something I would eat all of my veggies for and anticipate with cheers of delight. So maybe at my next meal I will use my hands a little more and hurry a little less. Maybe I can learn something from my kids…how to eat, drink and be messy…I mean…merry. Same thing as far as my boys are concerned!!
