Pear time

Phoenix is enjoying his first bites of red pear. He is sucking all of the juice out of the bite that he took, hence the puckered face. This is what I called the pear incident, a huge mistake that I learned a great deal from. I thought that since Phoenix could eat canned fruit, I could share my pear with him. A bonus was that if I gave him the pear, I could get some sewing done while he walked around the room eating his pear (he seemed so interested in it.) I spent the afternoon not making quilts as I had inteneded, but chasing Phoenix around the room keeping his juicy pear and wet, sticky hands off of other peoples' quilts. I also spend the next 5 days changing runny diapers because fresh pears have more fiber than canned pears. Lesson learned-- Phoenix can have 1 or 2 small slices of a fresh pear in the middle of eating a banana in his high chair.
