He ate some toast

It happened way sooner than I thought it would, but Cameron ate some toast for breakfast today. He even asked for it himself. I tried to stay calm and act very nonchalant about it, but inside I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I didn't want to get all crazy excited and have him change his mind. Remember how he thought toast could only be made with store bought white bread. This toast was the bread I've been baking. Miraculous. I thought that it would take several more weeks to wear him down.

The fact that he even eats bread now is an amazing thing in and of itself. He's 7 now and the first time he actually asked to eat bread was when he was 5. Yes, you read that right. He was 5 years old before he willingly ate bread. It wasn't for lack of trying. I tried almost every day of his life up until that point. He wouldn't even eat it when he was a baby. I'd never known a baby who wouldn't eat bread until Cameron came along. He's always been a kid who has a mind of his own and there's never been an easy way to change it. I guess that's why he's always so fun to have around. There's just a little bit of sarcasm there, but in a good way.

I was the exact same way until my gma showed me how you dip toast into hot cocoa. HEAVEN!

I'm sure he won't be able to get enough!

YIPEE!! He is really starting to broaden his horizons in the food department. Here's to hoping that he now will eat anything and everything that you make for dinner (a girl can dream right?!).

Hahaha that's cute! When I was little I wouldn't eat tuna once I saw my mom mixing mayo in it. I thought tuna CAME like that. Mayo is sick (or so I thought).

My kids couldn't exist without bread. Now if I could get them to eat something with it.

That's great news! I actually was thinking of him this morning as I ate my toast. Maybe he was eating toast at the same time I was! :)

Hi Christa, you got a very cool and nice blog here. I enjoyed reading your post. Stay sweet. :)

Heather - if you were eating your toast at 7:45, then you were eating it at the same time as him. ☺ I'll have to tell him because I know he would think that was awesome.
