I knew it, eventually she would put it together and freak out and it happened this morning... Reiley is refusing to eat ham or bacon because her brother informed her that they come from a cute little pink pig (similar of course to the adorable stuffed one in her room) and they have to kill the pig so that she can eat it for breakfast. So, in the speaking before you think category, I said, "well chicken comes from real chickens are you not going to eat that either?" I know, I know, I know - not smart. So my teary eyed four year old informed me that it is mean to kill animals just to eat them and she won't do it anymore... So, the child who refuses to eat vegetables is now a vegetarian? This may present quite a challenge. Hopefully this phase will pass quickly and she will not become malnourished from eating only apple slices and goldfish crackers!
and don't forget turkey...of the gobble gobble variety! Poor Reiley... Auntie Pup will send you brownies until you can eat meat again!
