Sneaky, sneaky

Our pediatrician recommended that we start giving Perrin a vitamin supplement occasionally to make sure that he's getting enough iron. So we went out and bought infant vitamin drops for him. The only problem is he HATES it. I mentioned that little problem to doctor Davis, and she recommended that I mix it into applesauce to help mask the flavor. It worked! He made a funny face at first, but he was a good boy and ate all of his applesauce. Score one for mommy!

Funny thing is, I do the same thing for Trey. For example, we have some cauliflower in the freezer right now. Trey swore to me he wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. So I steamed it, mashed it, and mixed it into mashed potatoes. Trey ate every bite. Score one for wifey!

I just have to make sure the two most important guys in my life are getting all the nutrition they need. So if I have to be a bit sneaky about it, so be it. And if anyone else has good ideas for masking veggies, send them my way! (Just don't tell Trey!)
