She's afraid of eating a grape

THIS POST IS BEING WRITTEN IN REAL TIME SO FORGIVE THE MISTAKES.

Sophia has always been a picky eater, but lately she won't even eat an apple. She tells me that it could be poisoned like in the apple in Snow White. Sounds like a new lame excuse to me.

Right now she is afraid to eat even a grape. She been sitting on the couch for 2 minutes licking the skin, deciding whether to take the plunge or not. Um....the skin doesn't have any flavor, does it?

Picture me laughing my head off because as I write this she is currently gagging over the grape and yelling that she can't eat grapes. Please note that initially she asked for them! I gave them to her in spite of my better judgment. She didn't eat any dinner. An hour lately and she's hungry. I offer her a banana. She reluctantly eats it (only complaining for the first bite).

And 1 minute later - It's over. She gave up on the grapes and she just told me that she's hungry. I'm ignoring her, secretly laughing.

She has been on a carrot kick lately. She's never been overly enthused by carrots (and will only eat them raw), but lately she asks for them when I tell her she has to eat something healthy. I'm ok with that.

About 2 weeks ago I got her to eat 4 or 5 tiny pieces of ham. Her very first! She actually said she liked it, but hasn't touched it since.

We all know that Lilly, on the other hand, will eat most of what is offered to her. She also got a bowl of grapes just a few minutes ago and there are only 2 left in her bowl plus I think she's still working on them. She also shoveled in an entire bowl of spaghetti only an hour ago.

Now Sophia is mad at me because I ATE MY WHOLE BANANA SO WHY CAN'T I HAVE A PIECE OF CANDY?

Me: Because you didn't eat your dinner.

Sophia: OH SHUCKS. YOU'RE A LITTLE BABY THEN. MOMMY, CAN WE PUT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE TODAY? MOMMY, WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY? MOMMY, I'M A LION.

Now she is singing:
Happy birthday to you
You little kazoo
You burp like a monkey
And you smell like one too!

Now she's fighting with Lilly about why Lilly is turning the light on and off. (I usually try to let them work it out on their own these days and if the fighting gets really bad then I step in.)

OK, Gotta go step in.
