Adventures with Eating

So, you now know of of Joash's love of pineapple. However at one point last night, I didn't know if that love would continue.

Joash pointed to me and said, "Help," and then pointed to his mouth where his tounge was pushing up a little piece of pineapple. I checked it out and discovered this little piece of pineapple was wedge between two of his teeth. Well, now what do we do? I went to get some floss and his tooth brush. Have you ever tried to floss a not quite two year-olds teeth? It does not work. He kept wanting to feel what was going on with his tounge, which made it rather impossible to see the teeth, let alone get the piece of floss where it needed to go. Wilbert tried to get Joash to say "Ahh" and we wished we had something to use as a tounge depressor. I think we worked on it for over 15 minutes. Finally, I mangaed to grab that slobbery peice of pineapple and pull it out. Phew...that was a lot of work, but Joash continued to happily eat after that.

Another adventure was a few days ago. Joash and I made apple muffins for coffee time. They were not the best muffins I had ever made. While we were eating, Joash was chewing and he said, "tough one." Wilbert said he agreed, the muffins were a bit dry. Then, looking at Joash again, Wilbert said, "Wait a minute. What do you have in your mouth?" Joash spit out the stem of an apple into Wilbert's hand. No wonder it was a "tough one." While we were making the apples, Joash pulled the stem off one of the apples and I didn't see where it ended up. Apparently, it ended up in the batter for the muffins.

In our house, we call getting a stem (or something like that) the "prize". I think Joash was just ensuring that he got the prize! :)
