PB L &J (...or, If You Say So)

Most of the time, lunch at our house consists of two things: peanut butter and honey/jam or turkey and cheese. I'm too lazy to be creative when I have to think of something for dinner too! Aidan usually chooses turkey and cheese, and Ethan chooses pb&h. Crust cut off, with mandarin oranges and chips on the side. Today, Ethan said, "What is Max's favorite sandwich?" (You know, Max the rabbit from the Noggin show Max & Ruby.) I said, laughing, "Peanut butter, lettuce, and jelly." Ethan said, "That's what I want!" I said, "Are you sure? You can't throw it away...you have to eat it" (he doesn't even like lettuce, and won't usually touch the stuff). And he was sure. So I made him a peanut butter, spinach, and jam sandwich. I didn't even cut the crust off, because I was sure he was going to open the sandwich, pick off the lettuce, and ask me to cut the crust off like I always do. Nope. He ate EVERY bite, spinach, crust, and all. In fact, he ate it faster than he has ever eaten a sandwich before. So, we tried something new, and he got some fiber from the leafy greens in his jam sandwich. Yummy.
