What's For Dinner?

Today I have turned a corner on the road of motherhood that made me feel like I’ve arrived at the next destination. My 3yr old son asked, "Mommy what’s for dinner"? I almost cried.

After months of not seeming to care what I made or what he put in his mouth, he wanted to be apprised of the upcoming meal. In the past I heard a lot of "I’m hungry", "No, I don’t like that"! and the ever popular answer in my house whenever he doesn’t want to do anything, "No, not today".

I’m not sure how this is going to play out, but I feel like a real mommy now whose child may actually look forward to a meal rather than just mindless eating between play.
