My postassium levels are probably higher than they have ever been. As part of our ongoing battle to get Sam to eat any kind of fruits or vegetables, I have found one thing that works. The banana race - Sam will quickly down a banana IF I race him. So on his cue ("mark, set, go!") we eat our bananas as fast as we can, making sure to encourage chewing and swallowing along the way.

I have sneakily suggested we try racing with strawberries, grapes and apples (vegetables are whole other battle right now) but for now he is politely refusing. And I don't mind at all, just seeing his cheeks filled with those bananas is good enough for me...for now.
