Eli used to LOVE apples. Then, a couple of weeks ago he stopped eating them. He would ask for an apple, I would give it to him, and then he would spit it out. This morning, he asked again, but this time he asked if he could sit on the kitchen counter to eat his apple. I tried it and he almost at an entire apple. So, I guess he likes apples again....IF he's sitting on the kitchen counter to eat them. : )

This is funny because we discussed this very topic at the LLL toddler meeting yesterday (toddler nutrition). We talked about being creative with children when it is time to eat or snack time. Some moms stated that changing eating locations occasionally (from the table to a "picnic on the floor", etc.) will help their toddlers eat more or try something they have never tried before....we were not really testing this suggestion, but it worked for the apples!!
