Bananas used to be one of my son's foods. (Although he abandoned them way back in the days before I realized that not eating a food for a week or so meant it was never coming back.) He used to eat them with a spoon instead of a fork. Yay!

Bananas make me gag; Nik isn't wild about them either —except when he bites THROUGH the skin...in the grocery store. Yuck! That’s a major accomplishment!

We've adopted the same tactics...sometimes with success, sometimes not. We've got three tactile-defensive fellas, all with their own personal defensivenesses. Is that a word? ;) Our baby (16 mos) will actually throw a tantrum if we put a food on his tray that even *looks* like something he doesn't want to touch. It's like we're poking him with a hot poker or something, the way he reacts. Good for him. We’ve adopted the same tactics…sometimes with success, sometimes not.

So did you cut it up for him? It is so encouraging to know there are other little boys out there who remind me so much of my grandson. But he doesn't eat bananas. Woohoo!
