There is a book called “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime” that is about an autistic boy who does some investigating when a dog in his neighborhood is found dead.  One of the weird quirks about the boy is that he has severe apprehension towards certain colors therefore his father often added food color to his food so he would eat.  Well, I am now indulging Sennet’s green obsession by coloring food green so that Sennet will eat it.  It actually started with blue because I asked Sennet if he would like some yogurt the other day and he said “yes, blue yogurt.”  Blue means blueberry- but we were out of blueberry.  Rather than risk a potential meltdown, I just added some food coloring. Since then, I have added green to applesauce, colored oranges green (yes he asked for green oranges), made green eggs, added green to cream cheese, etc, etc.  Let’s just hope food coloring doesn’t cause cancer because for now it is making my life much easier. And no, I am not saying Sennet has autism- he just likes green.

Kevin bought Sennet some new pajamas that combine two of his favorite things- green and frogs. They are a HUGE hit.

The blue yogurt that started it all.

Did you know that gel food coloring doesn’t mix in eggs?  Me either! It is hard to tell in this photo but once the green gel didnt mix in, I added green drops that are neon.  These eggs looked like they had radiation.
