Do you know the muffin man (or girl)?

As mentioned previously, we have a bit of a picky eater on our hands. In the past week, Ella has turned into a blueberry fanatic, consuming at least a few pints and refusing most other foods. In fact, she downed half a pint this evening at a Superbowl party. I can't complain as they are a good food for binging, but still, she can't live on blueberries alone. Needless to say, I've had to get creative with sneaking good things into foods that she'll eat. This week, I made a version of Morning Glory Muffins. Thankfully, she took the bait...

The first step is getting her to actually open her mouth for the food.


Apparently, she did not need that piece.
Lost it in the bib.


Found it!

Digging in (and depositing lots of crumbs on the floor for Moses.)
Explaining to me why this muffin is, in fact, edible.
And deciding that this snack is so over (and also noting that gravity works, every time.)
All done.

Thanks Jenni, I know that she will. She comes from a strong heritage of picky eaters with Pish and I as parents. I'm sure she will grow out of it in time...

Hilarious. Every mom that knows about Ella's blueberry addiction refers to the inevitable blueberry poo issue.
