Yesterday the three of us walked over to the apartment complex management center to pick up a package and while there took oatmeal raisin cookies. (They always have fresh cookies available.) Walking home, John was eating his so well and I thought I had successfully tricked him into eating raisins. Yeah! But when we pulled him out of his stroller, we found that he had sucked each raisin clean of cookie, then hidden the soggy, slimy raisin mess underneath his bottom. Soooo gross . . .
How about an apple crisp made with razor thin apple slices and topped with vanilla ice cream?
ReplyDeleteI used to do the same thing with the raisins in cookies; I still don't like raisins in baked goods either.
Keep trying. :)

Oh, Katherine! That is quite the boy you have there. I wish I could come up with a solution. I had to laugh a little about the raisins. We have a tendency to find apple cores in odd places once DS is finished eating.
ReplyDeleteHey Katherine, I thought of one last ditch thing you could try. Some kids won't take stuff from their mom but when someone else offers it they will try it. Nobody knows why this happens. But maybe it's worth a shot?
ReplyDeleteIt has an especially high chance of working if you first announce to the person who is offering, "Oh, don't bother, John simply refuses to eat fruit." They LOVE to make liars out of us. ;-)
how does he do with veggies? all my kids loved broccoli and asparagus.
ReplyDeleteoh... and have you tried frozen peas? They are cold, small and green, and kind of sweet. What kid doesn't want to put a small green object in his mouth? :-) If it doesn't work maybe put it in a prescription pill bottle. That's a toddler magnet. lol
See how clever they can be!?
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty funny though - sometimes they just *don't* like certain things/textures. John is just pickier than the average bear ;-)
