What's for dessert? Spinach!!

A book we love to read at home is called "Little Pea"

In this book, Little Pea has a great life as a pea and gets to do all kinds of fun stuff.  But the one bad thing about being a pea is that every night for dinner he has to eat... candy.  His mom says that before he can have dessert he has to eat all the candy on his plate.  So he forces it down.  Because once he finishes all his candy, only then does he get to have his dessert.  And what's his favorite dessert?  Spinach!!  After Little Pea scarfs down his bowl of spinach he says, "Yum, yum, extra yum." :)

Last week, after we finished dinner, John asked if he could have dessert.   Tim told him excitedly, "Tonight for dessert we are having spinach!"  John fed right off this excitement and said "I love spinach!!  Brielle, we're going to have spinach for dessert!"  Brielle was not interested, but fortunately that wasn't enough to stop John's excitement.  Tim got out the spinach and John happily ate 3 leaves :)
