The Intervention....

Well Sager and Brandon went to Amarillo to go see the doctor for a check up and Sager's nurse practitioner, Phyllis had quite the talk with him.  Whenever he was little Dr. Habersang told us, to include Sager, that Sager should eat a variety of foods and that we should go by colors, greens, reds, yellows etc in order to get a healthy diet.  Well, unfortunately Sager didn't hear that part, because his color scheme ranges from white - fried mozzarella white to fluorescent orange - Velveeta cheese.  Now don't get me wrong, Sager loves just about any shade of orange, from light orange to umpah loompah orange.  Really the faker the better.  A good meal to Sager is a glass of Sunny D, a quesadilla with shredded cheddar cheese with a side of macaroni and cheese.  So you can see my dilemma.  Sager came home and said that Phyllis wants him to eat cauliflower, broccoli, apples etc.  and that he was going to try to wean himself off of the cheese.  Thank goodness the cheese intervention helped!  He actually ate two pieces of fresh pineapple (all the while making the craziest faces!) but he did it none the less!  Sager, I am so proud that you are trying to break the chains of dairy products!!!

Maybe you could hide the vegies in cheese sauce. My kid is just the opposite - won't eat mac and cheese or ravioli, but will eat brussel sprouts!
