How does your garden grow?
Our kids have never been into fruits and vegetables. At the pharmacists suggestion we blamed Grant's aversion to fruit on the fact that all of his medication was fruit flavored. But, this couldn't be carried over for Kate. Until recently Kate only liked peppers and peeled apples and Grant liked the same plus carrots.
But, out of the blue a month ago Grant started saying he wanted to try new foods and has since added pears, cauliflower and oranges to his palate. Oh, and salad. But, only if we are at a Japanese restaurant and it is iceberg with ginger dressing. :) Over the weekend they both tried grapes and liked them.
I thought I'd capitalize on their new interest in food by telling them that their cousin Oliver and Grandma Ned were growing gardens. They said they'd like to grow some vegetables too. I got very excited and asked what kinds of vegetables. Kate said, "peppers, grapes and sandwiches." Grant said, "ice cream." I guess we have a long way to go.
