Today I want to share something really funny that our baby girl has been doing. Ever since we started table food, she has become a little “picky”. Some of that I think is simply a texture issue. We have found that if she won’t eat the ham or turkey we simply coat it all in applesauce. It is amazing! Once the food is coated in applesauce she’ll just eat it right up!! Silly girl!
Other times she literally picks at her food. The other day I gave her some chicken nuggets, which she usually eats right up with no issues, and instead of just eating them she picked at the breading and took some off before eating the pieces!
The really funny thing took me a while to catch on to. You see our highchair has one of those trays that pops on top of another tray. It does this so that you can take the top tray off and put it in the dishwasher. Because of the two tray thing, there is a small gap on both sides of the top tray. They are there so that you can get your fingers underneath and pop the top tray off.
Our baby girl found a new use of this “gaps”. One day I gave her Cheerios at breakfast, and they disappeared really quickly so I gave her some more. Well, after a minute or so I glanced over at her and saw her take a Cheerio and put it in the gap, where it promptly disappeared underneath the top tray. Then she glanced up and me and smiled, like she was saying “see mommy, I found a new game….isn’t it fun?”
Since that first time I have caught her doing this with all kinds of food whether it was Cheerios or chicken, if she didn’t want it…it went under the tray! Sometimes I lift the top tray off to wash it and find a “mound” of food by each of the finger “gap” places, and I never saw our baby girl do it. She can be pretty sneaky. I finally caught this little act on video. If you want to see her in action you can watch below.
