To my friend Nikki, who's on pins and needles!!!

LOVE: (so much that I growl and sing as I'm eating them!)
-Pears
-Bananas and Mixed Berries

REALLY LIKE: (I open my mouth wide and smile as I'm eating these)
-Peaches
-Apple Sauce
-Bananas

JUST OK: (Mommy has to trick me into eating these. She gives me one bite of yummy food and then a bit of this. That's the only way I eat them)
-Carrots
-Sweet Potatoes

DON'T LIKE AT ALL: (I cry in between every bite of eating this. I think my plan worked because Mommy and Daddy haven't tried giving it to me for a while now)
-Squash

HATE WITH A PASSION: (Last night Mommy and Daddy decided to introduce green to my diet. Bad idea! I was trying so hard not to taste it, that I cried with my mouth open for a very long time. When I finally swallowed, it made me gag...twice! My gags were so hard...I threw up!!! Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy put these away for a while!)
-String Beans

try waiting on the green beans until he can eat tiny pieces of the real thing. My kids never ate the green stuff until they could eat them not mashed up. they seem to taste better to them that way.

Thanks Steph! That's really good to know cuz there is NO WAY this kid is getting tricked into eating them. If he's fussing through eating something (like sweet potates) I'll keep at it because he'll still eat them...he just won't enjoy every min. of it. (And I don't want him having just fruit) However, there was NO WAY I was going to give the poor thing another bite of those last night! Good to know he might take a liking to the real thing! Thanks!
