28 Days of Loving Lily: Day 5 - You are a Great Eater



Sweet Lily,

One thing we really enjoy about you is what a good eater you are- most of the time.  You eat three big meals a day and tend to nibble on your snacks.  You have always LOVED fruit of any kind.  You are willing to eat most vegetables and you adore turkey from the deli counter.  Cheese is another favorite of yours along with crackers.  You latest favorite is oranges.  When I get things together enough for us all to eat together, you usually devour whatever we are all having.  Your palate includes fondnesses for Asian, Italian, Mexican, American, soups, pickles, comfort food, pizza, grilled cheese and pancakes to name a few.

These days, you are working hard to master your fork and spoon.  Some days are better than others and when you are tired of them, you often throw them on the floor and use your fingers.  In your mind, plates and bowls are optional.  Your food always starts out on them, but typically you dump them onto your high chair tray and throw them on the floor or set them to the side as well.  You do not get to eat many sweet treats these days, but you sure do enjoy them when you do.

I would say we have a long way to go before I would call you a "neat" eater, but I will easily say, you are a GREAT eater and we love your adventuresome spirit and willingness to always try new things.
