Besides all the greens already mentioned, you eat: raw carrots, tomatoes (sometimes), corn, black beans. Tried and liked yellow squash, bell pepper (red). You eat butternut squash soup, cauliflower soup. You don’t care for potatoes in any form, sometimes you eat French fries.

You like: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mangoes, bananas, pineapple, avocado, kiwi, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon, and sometimes, apples. Not applesauce though. You don’t like pears, melon, and peaches, although you claim to eat pears and peaches at school.

You love: raw spinach, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, raw celery, edamame, avocado, kiwi, grapes, pesto is your favorite pasta sauce. You like lentil soup and split pea soup.

You were up stairs by yourself for a little while, and I had left the Green Chili chips bag open. You decided to try one and came running down the stairs “boca ta spicy!” We gave you some water to drink, but couldn’t help but laugh.

Today you tried beets! Primo Zylus loves beets and ate nearly all of them. He suggested you try them. Of course your first answer was no. But I said you could have more bread (warm pita bread) if you tried the beets. You ate a small piece and said you didn’t like it. Then, later, you asked for more beets. But they were all gone (Zylus strikes again). Nonna asked for some more but then you didn’t want them. We’ll try again another time (not sure when cuz I don’t think mamae likes them and I don’t either).

I was drinking unsweetened ice tea and you kept asking to drink it. I thought if I let you have some you would hate it, so I said go ahead. What a shock! You liked it and wouldn’t stop drinking! I had to say it’ Mommy’s drink and I want to have more to get you to stop.

We went to Melting Pot last Monday, you didn’t want to try the cheese or meat fondues, but wanted to eat as much as you could of the chocolate fondue with strawberries. You were eating and saying YUM so good at every bite.

Yesterday you tried a breaded fish I made and loved it, you ate all pieces we put on your plate and today you asked for more. You also tried feta cheese again and liked it this time, you were alternating a piece of feta with your strawberries for dessert.

I just gave you some Nutella for the first time, you ate a little bit and refused the rest saying you didn’t like it. Just like your dad.

You tried and liked lentil soup today (that I made). So far you like misso soup (every time I get japanese you eat it), broccoli cheddar soup from Panera and sometimes the butternut squash soup I make.
