Growing out of Picky Eating…a little bit
K discovered that she likes clementines after all – enough to borrow the camera and photograph one slice on her hand. The other day when we walked to the library, she’d warmed up in the sun; so naturally she handed Continue reading Growing out of Picky Eating…a little bit
