The Princess and Peas

So, last year in March sometime I did a little post about Olivia trying peas for the first time and how she did not like them. She would just stick her tongue out and stare at us. They were about the only baby food she didn't like. Here is a quick trip down memory lane:





Flash forward to today: Olivia LOVES peas- Go figure that! They are her new favorite thing- and thank God too becuase I nearly pull my hair out finding foods that she likes. Lately we have been reduced to the following: Mac and cheese (I mix in lots of broccoli, so I don't feel too bad about it), Pita pizza with cheese, broccoli, ham and tomato, yogurt, cheese, bananas,the organic version of nutrigrain bars, scrambled eggs, corn, grilled cheese sandwich (again with broccoli) and cheerios with milk. That is it. There are almost no other foods she will eat (or even try). However, I can now add peas to the list. Anyway, it may not seem like a huge feat but any mother of a toddler knows that finding nutritious foods that your child will actually eat can sometimes be like mission:impossible. It is good to know that if you keep trying to get good food in them, you eventually break through. I just never would have figured this Princess would love Peas!






(If you are wondering what the huge purple spot on her forehead is; it is another goose egg from falling- she is so adventurous she falls nearly every other day she always seems to land on her forehead. As a result she perpetually has some sort of purple goose egg on her forehead.)
