An Apple a Day

One of the first purees we did with Matthew was apples. And it's safe to say he was not a fan. His little face would scrunch up and after the first bite his lips would be locked shut and mealtime was over. He's had a distaste for them ever since and only barely tolerates apple sauce and prefers the kind that has other fruit mixed in. Yesterday I bought some yummy apples at the grocery store and sliced a piece off, peeled it and offered it to him. I always offer him things he doesn't like to see if one day he'll decide it's good. So yesterday after putting his piece on the tray I sat down in front of him with the rest of the apple and began to eat it.

Matthew starting fussing and pointing towards my apple so I decided to just let him have it and see what he would do.

Well he did this

By the time he was done only a core was left. I don't know if he likes apples now or if it was the appeal of being a big boy. Either way, I'll take it!
