It seems that young Sam likes carrot. I put a piece up for Ben this afternoon, and thought, I'll put a bit in for Sam, never thinking it would be touched. I came through from the living room a short time later, to see this........OMG, I could have jumped for joy.  |

Good boy, Sam!!!  That's brilliant, JB. I'm sure this will make the "eat your veggies" routine soooo much easier. Hopefully he won't go all typical budgie on you and be scared of it next time round.  |

Nubby often likes to shred carrot to pieces too, I end up saying to him "is any actually going in Nubby?"!!! This is SUCH good news though jellybean! And so understand how happy you are to see that he is starting to have the good life  |

Ben & Max loved sugar snap peas ffiscool, but, they had to be shelled and eaten out of my hand. I loved that. Hopefully Sam will do the same. |

I loved that.Hopefully Sam will do the same. Methinks Jellybean needed the peas to be shelled and eaten out of her hand. I'm sure you will be able to teach Sam the same ... "scary peas, Sam; they are only safe if eaten out of my hand."  |

It's great that he likes the carrot. Dean Stockwell liked shredding carrot when he was on his own but since he met the other boys who aren't keen on carrot he decided he didn't like it after all. The three of them love broccoli, spinach and basil though. And they don't mind a bit of apple now and then. I've not tried peas or sweetcorn.
