you've been warned

I warned him before he left the house that if he ate one I wouldn't speak to him for an entire day. I was clear about the boundaries and yet it seemed like the men in my life had only been gone for mere minutes when I got a text saying "Guess what I'm eating?" and this picture. Uh oh! I knew it! He couldn't resist! He was swayed by temptation and manly peer pressure! And I think the fact that it grossed mommy out may have played just a tiny part in Maddox desperately wanting to taste test some new foods. That's right...Brandon took Ash and Maddox to Beast Feast at our church last week and first things first Maddox ate mountain oysters. Calf fries. Bull biscuits. Or as Maddox likes to call them cow testicles. Ugh. Look at that face. He's so proud of himself and is hoping that I'm gagging and throwing up as the text message is sent! When the boys got home from Beast Feast the first words out of Maddox's mouth were "Did you get the text?" followed by hysterical (and maniacal) laughter! We had to text Grampa Mike and tell him about Maddox's first experience and, of course, Grampa Mike couldn't have been more proud. I wasn't able to totally stick to my threat of not talking to Maddox for an entire day but I made sure to make a big deal out of his food choices. I made sickened faces, covered my face with my hands and truly made Maddox feel like mommy was gonna throw up at any moment. That made Maddox even more proud of himself! This little guy keeps me on the edge of my seat! And I think he's keeping all the bulls in the world on the edge of their seats as well...
