LOL! Luckily my 5-year-old is a salad fanatic! Tonight I was fixing his salad. The conversation went thus (M=me; W=5-year-old):

M: Lettuce?
W: Yes.
M: Green onions?
W: Yes, a little.
M: Cucumbers?
W: Yes, a little.
M: Radishes?
W: A slice.
M: Green peppers?
W: Never touch them.
M: Dressing?
W: Bleu cheese.
M: Croutons? (He gets croutons even though no one else does.)
W: Two or three

Such a hoot! I've noticed, too, he eats his dinner a LOT better when it's light on carbs, and doesn't usually get hungry before bedtime. He does get plenty of carbs, though--had a cookie this afternoon, drinks milk, half peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich occasionally--the normal kid stuff, just in moderation. But he is learning good eating habits that may just prevent him a lot of problems later on (if he's anything like the rest of the family).
