Current mood: amused
As time is going by, and Mia is getting older... she is slowly becoming more like her Mama in the eating department. The one thing I didn't want her to inherit it seems like she is... my pickyness for food. Meal time used to be a breeze with Mia, but lately its been horrible! Such a huge battle... and I am the one who usually loses.
Anyways, Mia used to be a great little pancake eater. I always cook her fresh pancakes for lunch but over time she just started throwing them or just ripping them to tiny pieces and throwing crumbs everywhere. I tried everything... even switching to a off brand mix just because it had Apples and Spice already in it. She threw those too. Then I tried buttering them and she would only eat the top buttered part and throw the rest. Then I tried buttering both sides and she ate the buttered parts and again threw the rest. I didn't want to get into the habbit of her eating butter so I had to find another route... then it hit me. She LOVES blueberries! Unfortunately, they are out of season so I had to resort to the frozen types. So I defrosted some, threw them in the pancake batter and cooked them up. When they finally cooled off (which took longer than usual since the berries were extra hot) I fed the to Mia.
At first she looked at the blue pancakes strangely but after a couple of test bites she LOVED them! She not only ate her whole pancake but she ate TWO!! and she didn't throw any pieces! However, towards the end when she was getting full she started to just fishing out the blueberries to eat them first haha. Silly girl! By the end of lunchtime she was BLUE!!! Hahaha Her fingers, face, lips, teeth! It was too cute! I took some pics I will have to upload soon.
Little Mia, my little blueberrie Monster!
