Eat It

Funny Jaron story. I have some pickled teeny brussel sprouts from our garden last year that I want to get out of my fridge, so I've been making a push to eat them. 

I offered some to Jaron for lunch today. 

He put one in his mouth, chewed it for a second, and then spit it out and said "no." 😂 

I said, "you're not going to eat that?" I ate one of the brussel sprouts on his tray. 

He said, "eat it," and held it out to me. (Sometimes he feeds me the things he doesn't want to eat). 

I opened my mouth so he could drop it in... And then he put it in his mouth. I guess it was worth a second try if Mom eats it.

But a moment or two later, he grimaced and spit it out, offering it to me again. 😂

I signed him up for a spring session of ECFE, a messy art session. We've gone twice so far, and both times he's eaten the art supplies. One of the stations was making cloud sand with baby oil and flour. Jaron kept putting fistfuls of the mix into his mouth. The helpers thought it was hilarious; they expected him to take one taste and spit it out. 

I guess that's what you get when you feed your kid weird food. They can't tell the difference between craft supplies and food. 😂 

Paint was this week's taste. I stopped him before he could eat too much. Thankfully there's been a water play table each week and Jaron happily spends most of his time there. He's needed a new outfit both times, but that's a small price to pay for not having to clean up the mess. 😊

Speaking of messes... He really enjoyed his blueberry sauce on pancakes the other day...




Note the blueberry on his eyelid, forehead, and arm. 😆
