My little Oompa-Loompa

I thought Michael hated banana. I was wrong. That reaction was pretty mild compared to the reaction that carrot got this afternoon. It is the first savoury food he has tried and he was absolutely disgusted. He swallowed a fraction of a mouthful, retched and started to sob. I tried him with another mouthful and he spat it out and then wiped his hand all over his face. So he was screaming, wearing a 'Santa's Little Helper' bib, and bright orange. It took quite a while to scrub the stuff off. My mother told me that when I was little she would purée whatever they were eating, add sugar to it, sit me in front of "Sesame Street" and shovel it into my mouth. I didn't like savoury food. I'll give it another couple of days and if I keep getting the same reaction then I'll add a little apple purée and see if he likes it any better. So, the list is now as follows:

Foods that Michael likes doesn't hate:

• Banana
• Avocado
• Apple
• Rice cakes
• Carrot
