The Tale of Chicken and Wild Rice

During Simone's 6-month check-up the pediatrician suggested that she could start eating meat. So I bought a few jars of meat--a few turkey with vegetables and a few chicken and wild rice. I decided to try the chicken and wild rice first because chicken was actually the first ingredient. The turkey one had apples, carrots, and then turkey. But the chicken which also had tomato paste and onion may have been a bit too spicy? Simone wasn't having it...

Sometimes she'll stop making faces after the first few bites of a new food...not this time!

So I decided to table the chicken for the day and went to the kitchen to get some apple sauce instead. Imagine my amazement when I returned to see this!











(building up suspense)










(and more suspense)







Did she like the chicken after all? A few more attempts showed that nope, she still didn't like the chicken...but she did like trying to feed herself!


And that is the tale of chicken and wild rice.
