Blueberry (and Butt) Stains

Capone ate blueberries for the first time this weekend.  He loved them.  He loved them a lot.  So I mixed them with his applesauce and he wolfed it all down.

We took major precautions regarding stains.  He was only allowed to eat blueberries with his sleeves pushed up and bib.  He had to have the highchair tray attached.  We wiped his hands and face before he got his finger foods.  We thought we had succesffully avoided stains.

Not quite.  Capone ate so many blueberries that his poop turned purple and stained his butt purple.  I thought we scrubbed it all off in the tub last night, but then this morning right as we were walking out the door and we were back to purple.

And of course since today's Monday, and Monday mornings at daycare usually involve a short recap of the weekend and headsup about new skills, problems, food issues, etc, it is fitting that we had an audience for our Monday morning drop-off recap.  Eva's dad was telling Ms. Becca that she still had a little bit of a runny nose.  And Jacob's mom was telling Ms. Becca he had hit his head on the coffee table over the weekend and had a nasty bump.  And then it was my turn, "Capone ate at lot of blueberries and he's fine, but his butt is purple."

The end.
