Ever heard of them?
Well, for a kid who wouldn't touch a fruit with a ten foot pole 5 months ago, he's gone nuts over the apricots. I think he has finally figured out that they are not called apricadoes, but we think it's cute. Now to keep him and his twin from raiding the tree at every whim! :-)
Cherries have the possibility of bringing on a tantrum if they aren't pitted for him. One morning I gave him two rainiers and told him to eat them before I would give him anything else. He had an all out fit. Later in that same day someone took the time to pit them individually and fed him all he could eat. He realized he was crazy about them and was even willing to work the pitter himself after that.
The peaches are starting to ripen. I was making them a peach shake last night when my blender broke so they ended up with peach slices with milk and cereal. I asked how he like the peaches and he just shook his head, but ate them anyway. Every fruit is new and takes some getting used to, I guess. He is asking for jam on his bread now.
A funny thing he has had zero issues with zucchini and other garden produce. Salad is still not a favorite. I don't push it. If he'll eat the majority of foods without a problem I don't care if he never eats lettuce.

For a small minute I thought there was a new fruit...an apricot/avocado hybrid. :) LOL
If you have time, would you post about how exactly you got your son to eat fruit? My grandson will eat vegetables but will not touch any fruit. Thanks--Jeannie
i don't blame you for the lettuce! Even EGW says within reason we shouldn't force them to eat what they really can't handle, especially if there are other ways for them to get the same nutrition.
