Day 7: French Toast

It's been 1 week now, since I decided to go on this mission. We've had some ups and downs, some surprises, some irony. While Bailey was eating this afternoon (if that's what you call it - taste testing), he asked if I could STOP making new foods for him to try... I said nope- I am on a Mission: Mission still goes on strong.

Today I made French Toast. It took more than a full cup of chocolate milk, but Bailey got 4 bites down... gagging again. It's pretty sad to see your child gagging, but kind of funny at the same time, just because it's so pitiful. I was eating the French toast the same time as he was, so I know it was good. It's not even like it looked like Green Eggs (which I can't get myself to eat the leftovers of, by the way). I also put butter and Maple Syrup on top of the toast! Reese took a few bites, but wasn't really interested, until I told her she could have an Oreo when she finished 2 more bites. The hidden ingredients in the french toast are pureed sweet potatoes, and pureed bananas, along with sprinkled flax seed meal (on the bottom side).

I keep on wondering why Bailey doesn't like certain foods when they are together. He likes Cinnamon, Bread & Eggs. He just doesn't like them together, He likes noodles, and he likes Cheese, but he doesn't like Macaroni & Cheese. Ya know how there are people (not just kids), who don't like their foods touching on the plate? Well, I guess Bailey is one of those people. When ever he has more than one food item at a time, he always wants them in separate bowls, so I should have figured it out by now.

But I will continue. If my calculations are right, I will be done with this mission by the end of the summer. Hopefully, we will have figured a few things out, and we will start off the fall with a fresh new outlook. Thanks to all my readers! The blog is what is keeping me going.
