Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli

Here is an update on Asher's food trials:

Looking back, I realise that I forgot to mention the sweet potato trial.

After the dismal failure of the apple trial, we had to wait until Asher was feeling better. Then we added sweet potatoes into Asher's diet. First, we gave him baked sweet potatoes. He didn't like them. So then we sliced them and made French-fry type sweet potatoes. We made fried sweet potato balls. We learned to make a lot of different things with sweet potatoes.

The verdict? Asher simply doesn't like sweet potatoes. He just doesn't want to eat them.

On day 6 of the sweet potato trial, pre-school called to tell me that Asher was leaning over the toilet trying to vomit and was crying. All of our initial thoughts were that the sweet potato trial was failing. Turns out that Asher caught the virus that Leila had the week before. He had a fever for four solid days and complained of a tummy ache. I'm pretty sure that it was a virus and not a food trial failure. But it doesn't really matter because Asher doesn't like sweet potatoes. OK then.

This evening we began broccoli. Why broccoli? Because it's low on the allergenic scale and because it's what Asher requested. So, broccoli it is. I'll be reporting back in two weeks or less on the results.
