My Island Girl

Elle's first try at meat was on Thanksgiving. I even splurged on the organic turkey so that I would be comfortable giving her good meat on her first try. She wanted nothing to do with it. She spit it out immediately. Her second try was on a perfectly cooked filet. She once again refused it. David and I decided we will not force her to eat meat. Don't get me wrong she eats lots of things. She likes toast, cereal, bagels, raisin bread, crackers, cheese, yogurt, apple sauce, apples, pears, bananas, grapes, blueberries,peaches, broccoli, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, zucchini, avocados, tofu, tortillas, maccaroni and cheese, risotto, grilled cheese sandwiches, kiwi, and much much more. We will just make sure that she is getting enough protien from other places. Well lo and behold she ate some fresh snapper tonight that Meemom prepared for us and loved it. So she might not do the meat thing but likes seafood. That's my girl!! I told Daddy he needs to provide her with snapper from Katie's Seafood at least twice a week. She and Mommy can grow quite accustomed to it. David's reply "She better learn to like tilapia".
