Last night, Bentlee tried his first Sippy-cup full of Organic carrot juice.
I was a bit worried he would either:
A) throw it up
B) spit it out on me
C) make a funny face
All of the above - never happened- he LOVED it. he took down about half of the juice in a minute.
One thing the boy does get enough of is his water. Lots of water. He is so funny when he eats he takes two bites, and he will not take another bite unless he gets water. He's a smart one. I am so pleased and grateful he loves water so much. I am not going to be the mom to give him sweet juice to make him happy or be quiet. He will drink water, and healthy juice, carrot juice mixed with some cucumbers to let the taste down. As far as apple juice (unless made freshly from an apple-naturally) he will be drinking nothing but natural veggies and fruits from God's green earth.
Going through this process with him, at first i was worried, but after just two weeks i can assure you i will never back down from my belief to continue feeding and giving him every vitamin, and green and fresh veggie and fruit he needs. A child needs nourishment and that is what he will get.
Last night for dinner he had sweet potatoes (of course organic and from the produce market) with a touch of cinnamon, he tore it up. he then had some pealed strawberries, and also ate them wonderfully.
We go to the doctor in Franklin this coming up Monday for a follow up to see how his ears are doing and how he is doing all in all. I am so anxious. As a mom, with your child you know everything (literally everything) about them inside and out. I can tell by his actions, smiles, sleeping patterns just within the past couple weeks he has got to be feeling better. He has always been a very happy exciting baby, but even today i have never seen him so happy and full of life.
