Spittin' goldfish

[siercia]

This evening, I'm giving Miss Widget her dinner because Daddy's gone out to play with his friends. And first, I try to feed her spinach. It was not well received - she acted like it was making her gag. I persevered, and got her to eat a little bit of it before she refused. I rewarded her with string cheese, which she adores and then I fed her some goldfish (the pepperidge farm kind, of course) which she normally loves.

Tonight, she loved spitting them at me. She spits one out, I pick it up off her bib, and she takes it back into her mouth, only to spit it right back out. It was like trying to feed an old dollar to a vending machine. I could practically hear the *bzzt* noise. And thus, the meal was declared over as I doubled over in laughter.

Oh man is she missing out! Spinach is great. Although all the ways I prepare spinach are possibly a little to fancy for her.

Mmmmm....

I love it too. I think she will eventually, but it's a new taste, and so she needs to get used to it. I might try making her some fresh spinach, just steamed, instead of baby food spinach.

What's your favorite way to make it?

Steamed is good. Perhaps she might like it if you put lemon juice, or a touch of tomato paste with it or something.
