Pink Tale #76, Little bub & the beet
At Riddells Creek FM
Little Amelia is only 21 months old but knows a good thing when she sees it. She waddled straight for the smiling beetroot beckoning her to have a taste. It was after all, the same height as her. She even got on her tippy toes to have a closer look at the jars of brightly coloured Pink Muesli, gave it a once over and pointed to one of them.
Me: Why hello there! You want to have a taste? Which one?
Amelia pointed to Cinnamon Carrot Apple & Raisin.
Mum: Can she have a taste?
Me: But of course! Here you go. Hold out your hand sweetheart.
Amelia opens her mouth to receive the spoon so Mum offered her hand instead. Amelia picks from Mum’s hand and she quickly gobbles it up. She makes happy little noises and does a little jig. Then she excitedly points to the next one, Coconut Caramel Crunch with Almonds, so I give her some of that. When she saw it in Mum’s hand, she looks up with the cutest thrilled look before quickly gobbling it up.
Me: Did you like that Amelia? (Amelia laughs happily and does a little jig again.)
Mum: We’ll take the cinnamon please.
Me: Here you go sweetheart. (Handing it to Amelia, who holds it tightly to her chest like a prized possession. She waves goodbye as they walk off into the sun.)
Another healthy foodie-in-the-making, gotta luv it ?
Little bub’s in the pink?
