lemon - 09:52 AM
(filed under 'baby')
when we went my uncle's fiftieth birthday party the other night, shroom had a seafood basket for dinner. on the plate, as there usually is, was a wedge of lemon. i like to give smiley a taste of most things, as i think that new experiences & tastes are good for a kid's development, so i put the wedge of lemon up to his mouth. i expected him to simply stick his tongue out, but he leant foward & gave it a good suck!
his reaction was priceless! his face screwed up tight & he gave a full body shudder. everyone who happened to be watching laughed out loud. the lemon was still near his mouth & despite his reaction, he went back for more! after another small suck (& the same reaction) i put it back on the plate, just in case it gave him an upset tummy.
it was pretty funny. 
lol..
stephanie did something similar with her first taste of creamy soda. she had a distinctly "ewwww!" look on her face but reached out for more. i spose it's all part of kids learning what they like and don't like.. as adults we think it's crazy but we have 20-30 years experience in what we like or not, they don't. and babies also don't know how many different tastes are in the world. for all they know this latest thing you've given them could be the last new taste they haven't tried yet, so they need to make sure they really don't like it so as to not restrict themselves
