FOOD!

Well, today we officially started Skylar on solid food. Is this supposed to be a fun day for her? I am not sure how most kids handle veggies in the beginning days, but Skylar does not seem to want to experiment with any new food...she could probably eat rice mush forever and never feel like she is missing anything. We started with carrots. I hear it is a good first because they are a little sweet. Skylar did not receive the memo explaining that this was a sweet food and she was supposed to like it. She wasn't impressed, though it went better than the test run with the beans. At first, she seemed to handle the taste ok, she swallowed it down and didnt make too much of a grimace about it. As we went on, it got worse, and eventually she was gagging. I decided that was enough carrots for one day when she was putting her face in her hands as she was at the very end of her rope and praying God would just wisk her away from this awful situation.

See, I could still make her laugh even though food was in her mouth. She didn't mind it too much.

And now she isn't so sure about this stuff anymore. And then.....


the face!



ok, she has had enough for the day. We'll come back and torture her some more tomorrow. Life is hard.
