Journaling reads:
Do you think it is possible to live on apples alone? Jackson would if we let him. Since he was very tiny and trying solid foods, he preferred apples over anything else. Dutch apple was a particular favorite and we could never spoon it fast enough to keep up with his demands. He was never picky about how they were served either. Mixed with other fruits? Sure! Warmed in the microwave? Absolutely! Mixed with oatmeal? Bring it on! Cold from the fridge? My favorite! Now that he is self-feeding and trying new foods, his love for apples remains. For a time, we were peeling and chopping his apples so he could eat them easily. Now he refuses to have his apple fooled around with at all. If you attempt to take a knife to his beloved fruit, prepare yourself for a 15 minute tantrum that would make even the most patient person cringe. Taking them out of the grocery sack is a covert operation worthy of any Special Forces military. Washing them requires record speed if you want to avoid a writhing on the floor, kicking and screaming fit. We have taken to hiding them in the fruit bowl underneath other fruits so he doesn’t see them. If he does, be prepared for him to eat nothing else until the apple is mostly gone. This could take over an hour, he has quite a leisurely way of eating them. He will take a bite, chew it for a bit and then spit out the peel. Toting his apple everywhere he goes is a requirement. Finding chewed up apple peels all over the house is a new treat for us. We’re thrilled that he loves apples so much, but we sure wish he would eat the darned peel. He will always be our little Apple Jack. Journaling by Mommy
