Ms. Green Bean Jeans

We moved on this week to a new solid food: Green beans. Organic green beans and rice, to be precise. Sarah opened the jar, took one whiff and declared them inedible. Said she wouldn't eat them, so why would her daughter?





She was wrong.

Smiles surfaced like, well, bean sprouts. Lips turned green. Claire finished off both teaspoonsful.


This is good news for our hopes that she might one day become a Master Gardener.

I remember a certain mother-to-be who worried that her child would hate vegetables. Bless those genes!! MH

Try mashed potatoes--or have you done so already. If she can go for green beans, then surely she'll love spuds. Noone could possibly be against the "incredible, edible" potato as infant food--higher in potasium than bananas, for one thing.
