Babyman is off yogurt. This happens from time to time; he’ll devour something for months, then want nothing to do with it for a while. Of course eventually it works its way back into his heart…provided I keep offering it every so often.
Some of these hot-n-cold foods don’t really pose much of an issue (sweet potatoes, squash, bananas) as they are easily substituted or concealed somehow (usually in muffins or oatmeal). Others are a big pain. Yogurt falls in the latter category, as it is one of my breakfast-lunch-snacktime staples, easy to transport, and fun to mix with other ingredients. Without yogurt, I’ll confess I’m hurting a bit.
So I was at a girlfriend’s house not long ago and stole a trick from her book: take those yogurt sticks they sell for lunchboxes and freeze them. Instant frozen-yogurt popsicle! In other words, a treat. Genius.
Babyman had one after lunch the other day and thought he had inherited the moon: “Look, daddy! I’m eating a popsicle!” Oh, sneaky mommy. It still doesn’t work for lunchboxes, but at least I can get the probiotics into him once in a while.
Once again, this is really a question of packaging: next on my list is those squirty applesauce containers they sell, and we’re going to give smoothies another try…
