I've been reading Hungry Monkey: A food loving father's quest to raise an adventurous eater by Matthew Amster-Burton (you should too, it's very funny as well as foodie). Mostly because I'm terrified of Beekman growing up to be a picky eater: we already have one serious picky eater, and because of the way I was raised, it makes me want to tear my hair out. Two of them will drive me right off the edge. (I know, picky eating usually peaks at age 4; I figure since Miss B. will be 14 and probably not speaking to any of us, the two of them will live on ramen noodles and salami sandwiches that year.)

So, yes, my baby had creamed weeds for his first successful vegetable.

(We'd tried mashed potato but that came RIGHT back out; I was appalled and considered having a maternity test; nobody in my family has ever turned down mashed potato-- it's the traditional first food!_
