He used to eat just about everything. If we were eating it, that was good enough for him. He was in the Eat Anything You Are Eating stage. All manner of blenderized fruits, vegetables, yogurt...he ate it all. Sweet potatoes, bananas, green beans, bits of orange, and apple sauce. He liked those healthy things that you are supposed to feed your baby. Big People Food was his greatest joy. No more. Now it must be a dry carbohydrate: bread, crackers, or cheerios. Period. We have now entered a Picky Eater stage.
On the plus side, he occasionally gets the cheerios stuck to his chin.

Grandpa Chadwick says: All of our "kid books" have tooth marks on them...and drool stains. But reading to your kid has to be one of the greatest things a parent can do...it is fun, and a hoot to watch them learn. "Where's the Wolf?" And they point to the partially hidden wolf stalking the pigs. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, the "carbaholic" stage doesn't last. They usually outgrow it by the time they are 30.
