...greens...

So as I am typing this I feel like it is an instruction manual.  I mean I have nephews, I have been a teacher of small children, I even have many classes in undergrad that I learned about early childhood lifespan, but I feel a lot of that was taking care of other peoples children, not mine.  So now I am writing my own chapter of the parenting book, or I should correct it and say Jeremy and I are writing the chapter together.  The past two weeks have been cereal, cereal, cereal, rice and oatmeal.  Now it's time for the veggies.  Conflicting information I am finding though, fruit first? veggies first? will he like the veggies if you start with fruit? will he eat anything else if you give him fruit first?  I have one person saying applesauce first to get him used to eating, and then someone says no do sweet potatoes, no do pears because they are better for digestion.  Well I say pishaw!  We are doing veggies: greens, yellows, oranges.  THEN fruit light to dark.  The only hole I see in this logic is what is considered a "green veggie."  I have read peas, beans (both are legumes not necessarily a veggie.  When I think green I think Spinach, broccoli, kale, collards.  They will come but not right now I guess.

  So here he is happy as a clam with a face full of peas!  Day one down and so far a lot better then the cereal. I hope because these things actually taste like something and not just bland old cereal.
