Harper has always been anti-strawberry. I know what you're thinking, "how can a kid hate strawberries?" Well let me tell you, she's not your average bird. I had, in the past, snuck a bite or 2 into her, so I know she's not allergic or anything, just didn't like all the little seeds (her words). But despite this unprovoked hostility toward this delightful little fruit, we decided to take her out to the fields to pick her own. There is plenty of love for the strawberry in this family without her, so no worries about waste. Well, I don't know how to explain it, but as soon as that little hand got a hold of that bucket, she was off!! Picking berries left and right and LOVING every minute of it. This, in our minds, was all well and good, but it didn't mean she would eat them.
By the time we got home we had had lunch and a very filling trip to the frozen yogurt shop, you know the kind with the do it yourself toppings:) It never occurred to me she would want ANYTHING else to eat let alone strawberries. Not 2 minutes after we walked in the door she's asking for one. Well come on, this is total kid manipulation, right?? So anyway, I wash one for her and continued about my activities. 2 seconds later, she's throwing the top in the trash and asking for another, then another, then another. At this point I washed a bunch and gave her a bowl.
She hasn't gone a meal without having one yet! Code cracked:)
"Cheese" smile.
Some of our coolest finds.
