Strawberry Betrayal

[marydell]

Because of his allergies, Charlie's only ever had 2 flavors of yogurt before this week.  Nowadays he can tolerate more fruits so I decided to give him Strawberry yogurt instead of the usual vanilla.

Me: Look Charlie, it's a new flavor, it's yummy!

Charlie: (tries it cautiously)

Charlie: yum yum!

I feed him half a container of yogurt, which he gobbles up (he can feed himself but yogurt is soooo sloppy I usually do it for him; bad mommy)

Me: Look, there's a piece of fruit in this bite, it's called a Strawberry.

Charlie: (takes bite) (look of alarm)
(pushes tongue out of his mouth bearing an entirely yogurt-free piece of Strawberry)
(grabs piece of Strawberry and throws it)

Me: Ok, sorry, you don't like that, huh?  Here's another bite with no fruit pieces, promise!

Charlie: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  *flail flail flail*

Me: Um, ok, do you want some more of your baked beans instead? You're not quite done with those

Charlie: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Me: Ok, so, uh, do you want your Binky now?

Charlie: (snatches Binky out of my hand, sticks it in mouth)
(glares at me)
(plays with toy car on tray of high chair, occasionally giving me dirty looks)


I guess we'll try blueberry next....
