Food funnies

When it is time for Riley to try a new kind of food, I usually let Conor choose the next fruit or vegetable so he can be involved. (He wants to help spoon-feed her too, but I have to draw the line somewhere--it's messy enough as it is!) In order to try to expose her to all kind of foods so she is not as picky of an eater as her mother, we bought every kind of stage 1 food they make--including prunes. Despite my own hesitation (besides them being a funny color and a funny taste, baby poop is runny enough the way it is), Adam thought we should give them a try. So a few days ago, when it was time for Conor to pick the next food, he chose "the brown one, what's that one called, Mommy?"
Mommy: "Prunes"
Conor: "Can we give Riley some crooms?"
Mommy: "Prunes, with a P!"
Conor: "Can we give Riley some prooms?"
Mommy: "Prunes...prunes"
Conor: "Can we give Riley some prooms?"
Mommy: "Prunes...with an Nnnnn"
Conor, who gave up trying to pronounce it correctly: "Can we give Riley some of those?"

We went to the grocery store yesterday and when we passed the yogurt aisle, Conor wanted to make sure we could bring some home. He wanted to make sure I got his favorite...the green one. I told him it was called Key Lime Pie, but when we got home he was so excited to be able to have his new Pea Line Pie yogurt!!
