In a couple of months, Corwyn will start eating food. (This thought kind of blows my mind if I spend too much time thinking about it - I so love being the sole provider of nutrition for my little guy) Getting kids to eat food can sometimes be a challenge and I do not want it to be a "big deal" and I don't want to have a picky eater to deal with.
My thought has been that if I'm casual in how I introduce food to Corwyn, then it won't be a big stressful deal for him. So I've been letting him lick things every once in a while (grand total of 4 times, but I'll be continuing) so that he gets used to different tastes. I don't actually let him have any of the food to swallow or gum on, I just put it to his lips for him to taste. He loved lemons and pineapple, didn't like the olive, and this was his reaction to a slice of cucumber:
Cucumber is such a mild-tasting vegetable, it's so funny that he had such a strong taste reaction to it. Especially since he loved the lemon slice - he was grabbing for it when I took it away and trying to reach it with his mouth when he saw it in my hand. I should note, it sort of looks like I shoved it down his throat in the video, but I really only touched it to his lips and he licked it.
"Pepe" is Corwyn's little lovey that he sleeps with. I wear Pepe in my bra for a few hours every couple of days so that he smells like me when he's in bed with Corwyn. Yesterday, after being at church for about an hour, I looked down and realized that I had a very lumpy breast - I'd forgotten Pepe! No body said anything, but it was very lumpy, so people must have noticed. The things they don't tell you will happen in those "getting ready for baby" books.
