Grapes


A new favorite food for Brody . . . grapes! He'll go to the fridge and point saying "grip." Typically we wash the grapes, pull them off the vine and put them in an open bowl in the fridge. Easy access to encourage us to eat more fruit, and it works. Brody spotted the grape bowl one day, and boy, was he happy! It's gotten to the point that we have to either sneak into the fridge when he's not around or else anticipate little hands coming up behind us to sneak some grapes himself. He LOVES that he can get them himself and fill up his little hands and cheeks with these tasty treats. Here's a pic of Brody in the fridge!

that's actually a great idea...one, easy access for you guys to eat more fruit (which i have been doing lots of lately too) and two, that brody can help himself. that's a good food for him to eat and he's gaining independence at the same time.

he definitely loves his independence!! but it does totally help us to eat more fruit. i'm starting to do the same w/ strawberries, but you have to keep them covered otherwise they dry out quickly.
