Strawberries

I love strawberries.  I like to eat them plain, with chocolate, cool whip, or sugar.  I ate so many strawberries when I was pregnant for Jack that I'm surprised he didn't come out red or with a strawberry!  Last night I was trying to talk Caroline into eating a strawberry.  Trying to get her to taste something is definitely not an easy job.  After a lot of begging, pleading, and bribing on my part she finally at least licked the strawberry.  That's pretty big for Caroline!  Finally, she said if I covered it in chocolate she would eat it.  So I melted some chocolate chips, cut the strawberry up in tiny bites, and mixed it together.  After tons of crying, screaming, choking, and gagging Caroline ate the whole strawberry!  I didn't push her to do it she wanted to (she knew that she would get a new toy for eating it).  She claims that she liked it and would eat another one today (she has yet to do so) so I guess only time will tell if she really did like it and will eat some more.  I am very proud of her for at least trying it.  Now, if only I can get her to try some more new foods!
