Mellow Mushroom

You are a good eater, Katy. You will eat almost anything- fresh fruit, pastas, rice, meat... except veggies. It seems to be a daily struggle to get you to consume even a bite of vegetables. "They" (whoever "they" are), say that you need to offer a new food to a child up to fourteen times before they will accept it and eat it. Well, I know I've offered you veggies- green beans, carrots, broccoli- way more than that and still no success.

Then, the other day, while I was making an omelet for myself, I started adding mushrooms. You were sitting in your high chair and you kept reaching your hands out for the mushrooms. So, I put some on your tray and you ate half a can! Then, this morning, I was making another mushroom omelet and once again, you reached your hands for the mushrooms. I couldn't feed them to you fast enough! So, for now- at least for today- you like mushrooms.
