Food Network Part 4

Welcome to another installment of:
Look At My Kids Eat Fruit

You'll notice one of my kids is still nowhere to be found in fruit pictures, hence the excitement and need to take pictures of the other two. That, and I think this documentation will help get me out of jail when CPS comes to take me away after JR is diagnosed with scurvy.
Kyle and Reed love tangerines and will eat about 2 each a day. Of course they can't say "tangerine" or even "orange", but are quick to squeal for a "ball-ball" when they feel the need for citrus. Look at Reed, so talented...able to say "Cheese" and eat at the same time. You'll also notice (especially you, CPS worker,) on Kyle's high chair that they were also eating an apple that day. Yeah me!
In "JR still won't eat anything healthy news": He did make a teeny-tiny baby step the other night as he tried strawberry milk. We were having a "milk tasting" at Cub Scouts (I know it sounds ridiculous, but it turned out to be really fun) and first up was strawberry milk. We didn't tell them what kind of milk it was before they tasted it, but as soon as JR saw it was pink he started holding his throat and acting like he was gagging. I did my best to just ignore him, thinking we were about to have a huge scene. But he actually tried it, and actually liked it. Baby steps. Baby steps. (And in case you were wondering, lactose free milk was far and away the kids' favorite. Who would've thought?)
