As we have heard from other parents, it can be difficult to get your children to eat certain foods. Vegetables tend to be a particular problem, but Anneka seems to be like the rest of her family and is a little bit on the odd side. We actually will use vegetables to tempt her to eat other foods. In particular, she likes small chunks such as a pea, kernel of corn, or part of a green bean. She will turn her head in disgust at different types of cereal or pureed foods, but as soon as you put one of these small vegetable chunks on top, it turns into a delightful gormet meal for our little girl. Yes, that is correct, we use vegetables to tempt our baby to eat. In other news, the sports square is coming along great. It should be completed within the week. The only things left are painting, putting hoops on the backboards and a cement slab for the basketball hoop that is outside of the enclosed area. It is exciting to see how things are progressing. We're looking forward to using it and building relationships in the community as we enjoy this facility with our neighbors.

What a little "sweet pea"! That is so funny that she likes her food with a bit of vegetable on top. It was so much fun feeding her and seeing how she became so interested in eating with the pea on top of "whatever".
So, she still knows what she likes...and it is nice that she is enticed with vegetables! Baba
Anneka is so beautiful!!!
Jami and Leif,
