I swear Archie has started to identify green as an unappetizing color.
Admittedly, I've been pushing the dark leafy greens pretty heavily since he was taking solid foods. I think he can see that earnest glint in my eye when I present him with mush that I've super-packed with nutritional goodness; like he knows I want him to devour it with an unnatural fervor and then smile graciously at the prospect of eating such wholesome foods throughout his long and healthful life...
...And he resents that.
He wants to eat sweet things. Just like all humans are pre-programmed to do. He doesn't get any stuff with sugar added, but even naturally occurring sugars - like bananas - he just goes nuts for. Tantrums all over the place. Big tears. Balled up fists. Baby rage.
If you're sensing a power struggle emerging, you wouldn't be that far from the truth.
Deep breaths, mama.
