flossie wants some applesauce

Lila will have none of this rice cereal business. Why would she want rice cereal when milk is so easy to drink? And so conveniently packaged? I was starting to think she would never eat food after trying rice cereal every couple of days over the last few weeks. And then I remembered the timeless lessons of Sesame Street.

I used to love Grover. He was my favorite; such a sweet little blue guy. Anyone remember his sister Flossie? In this book, which was on my regular bedtime rotation as a child, Grover had his tonsils out and his little sister Flossie tries to steal his applesauce. I gotta go find a copy of that book for Lila...

And guess who else likes applesauce? This little lady right here. She ate several spoonfuls and was just as happy as could be. I guess I just didn't take into account her delicate palate. Silly mom.

Health food may be good for the conscience

but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.
