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....

I don't understand why 2-year-olds don't like fruit. It's sweet! Aren't kids supposed to be totally vulnerable to anything sweet?

(Bobby's reaction to this situation would be to try and convince someone else to eat the strawberry. Even if was recently removed from his mouth, yes.)
