Real People Food

Well, Thanksgiving (and the days of left overs) was a pretty interesting time for my boys. They got to try a lot of different things. Some were successful. Some were not. We finally got the boys to eat mashed potatoes. Of course we had to mix them up with baby food pears, but still, they ate them. Tonight, the boys ate pureed turkey (mixed with formula because I couldn't think of anything else to do). Not a huge success, but it went down and stayed there, so I'm calling it good. Here's our list of yays and nays for real people food:

• mashed potatoes - yay
• pureed turkey - yay (scared the shit of the boys when I turned the processor on--they cried for-ever on that one)
• pumpkin pie - yay
• squash - nay (interesting because they like baby food)
• fruit salad (kind of like ambrosia salad) - nay with puke (what is wrong with you guys? that stuff is good)
• sweet potato - nay (interesting because they like baby food)
• stuffing - nay with puke (at least I can understand that)
• mushed mixed fruit - yay
• yogurt - depends, sometimes yay and other times nay
• apple pie filling - OMG YAY (my picky boys became little birds with mouths wide open)
• eggs - can take them or leave them

Thankfully, they didn't have any funny reactions to anything and everything seems to be regular. The four day rule has now gone out the window.

I have some cottage cheese, pears, and bananas to try at some point in the not too distant future. I am going to leave the pear and bananas a lot chunkier than the baby food makes them. That ought to be fun.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the puking will be few and far between.

Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

Okay. It just occurred to me that this was a totally useless post. Sorry.
