Food of the Day

Today we let Alex try peanut butter for the first time. Now, I know it can take kids many times of trying a food to like it, but come on, it's peanut butter! He ate a bit but was not really a fan. See Exhibit A below.



However, at lunch he made a new "food" discovery that was much more to his liking -- barbeque sauce. While we were eating he kept pointing to the bottle of BBQ sauce, so I thought I would let him try it, convinced that he wouldn't like it, and then we could move on. I put a small drop on his plate, he dipped his finger in, stuck it in his mouth, and loved it! He kept asking for more, and if we hadn't started putting his chicken and sweet potatoes in it, he would have just kept eating handfuls of the stuff by itself. You can't tell from the picture below just how much he was enjoying it, but that's only because he was kind of upset with us for not giving him more fast enough!
