Cheese On Your Mac

To my son Tommy,

Up until this point, when you said you ate mac and cheese, you really just ate plain macaroni.  Sauce was a big no no, be it tomato sauce or cheese sauce or even just butter.  Every pasta had to be just plain with salt being the only acceptable additive. Happily I can report tonight that you devoured some mac and cheese complete with the cheese sauce!  You put up the normal resistance for the green beans and chicken but even those seemed to go down with less of a fight though you do know how to push your mommy's buttons when you eat.  Your food triumph was a pleasant aside especially because in the past month and a half we have had little to celebrate.  Of course I think your mom was as jealous as she was proud as she sipped on her soup broth.  You are now on your second helping of mac and cheese!

Sincerely with love from your dad,
Leo
