It turns out that our girly LOVES lemons. We discovered this one day at a restaurant when she was being particularly screechy and grabbing at everything, including the lemon in my water. I gave up and said, “Fine. You want a lemon? Have at it.”
You would think she would do what normal babies do and make a face and spit it out, but no, she chowed down and came back for more.
Since then, if you’d let her, she’d eat lemons all day, every day. She’ll keep going until her mouth has a red ring around it from the acid and then I feel like a bad mom and try to give her something else instead.
Now we have a foolproof way to keep her quiet when we eat out. As long as the lemons last, we can eat in peace.
Well, as peaceful as dinner can be with 3 other boys at the table . . .
