Ahhh, my poor Maxwell. We promise we weren’t trying to poison you. It’s just peas. Mama and Alex think peas are DELICIOUS!
Somehow, I doubt you agree:
Max has a very hard time warming up to new foods. He’ll willingly eat applesauce, half-heartedly eat mashed banana, and he only likes his rice cereal if I add a tiny bit of juice with the water.
After four tries with sweet potatoes, he finally ate them happily – with lots of squeals and smiles – at lunchtime today. 
Hopefully, in time, he’ll come to realize that peas are good too!
Just for fun - Here’s a picture of Alex’s reaction when he first tried applesauce.
