Well, Zach and Rissa go together like… the 2 most hated food items currently in our house. I just mixed my home-prepared pureed carrots with Gerber organic peas in order to get them both done and over with at once and I’d like to be frank with you. Peas and carrots are gonna look the same going in as they will coming out. Unless Rissa “shares” all of hers with her bib and Zach smears all of his on his high chair, and then they won’t have gone in or be coming out at all. Ew!
Actually, I need to retract part of what I said. I wrote the first paragraph before feeding them this meal and I’m writing this paragraph after. On Bite #1, Zach did give me a grimace, as if to say, “Ew, Mommy, you have got to be kidding me!” and smeared a bit with his hand and Rissa immediately hacked and coughed and spit out the bite onto her bib with a look of disgust. But I just kept offering and they kept taking! They spit out less and less and by halfway through, Zach was asking for more and Rissa wasn’t giving her bib anything to work with because she wanted it all! They even finished the whole portion! Maybe that’s why peas and carrots go together… they cancel out whatever was icky about the other one! Who knew? I suppose I WILL be seeing some diapers similar to what’s in that dish! Even better, maybe Matt will see the pea and carrots diapers on his turn and I won’t see them at all!
