An Apple a day...

As most of you know, Lilly is pretty picky about food. The worst thing she is the most picky about is fruits and veggies. The only Veggies she likes is canned Green beans and sometimes yams and cauliflower depending on her mood. In the Fruit department Lilly LOVES Bananas and maybe mandrine oranges again, if the mood strikes. But, I try to be the good mommy and keep giving her fruits and veggies even when I know she doesn't care for them. It gets really frusterating sometimes.

Yesterday, Emily and Gracie wanted some cut apples for a snack. So I gave them a snack well Lilly wanted a snack too. So I cut up some apple for her knowing she was going to freak out. But much to my surprise, Lilly actually ate the apples. AND she asked for more. I nearly started to cry. I hugged her tight and told her how happy I was that she ate apples. I know it sounds lame but its such a struggle for her to eat good things. She asked for apples this morning too for breakfast. Happy day!!

YEAH Lilly!! I have the same problem with Devon. I actually took a picture of her when she ate some lettuce. Most of the time I have to trick her into eating veggies pureed into something else. mashed cauliflower/potatoes is one of my favorites... She is getting older tho and is SLOWLY out-growing her "allergy" to fruits & veggies.
