He Likes Mashed Potatoes, He Likes Them Not?

Introducing Ky to new foods is always interesting. There might be several days in a row where he absolutely HATES a new food/food texture, and then all of a sudden he'll devour a whole bowl of whatever that food may be. That's why we never quite know how long to stick with a food that he seems to detest. Until our patience runs out I guess! Because so far Ky seems to come around to pretty much anything. Case in point: Monday and Tuesday night he WOULD NOT let any speck of mashed potato enter his mouth (see pics below). Then all of a sudden, he LOVED them Wednesday night. Weird, yet expected. Usually when Ky refuses food, we still let him experiment with using the spoon by himself and playing with it with his fingers. We want him to get to understand what this whole eating thing is all about.
