When you forget to teach...

I wonder when we all learned how to eat an apple leaving the core and seeds intact. H eats her apple like this. She starts at the top or side and just goes to town on the thing. I remember a friends once telling me that she used to eat the apple core and I thought she is crazy- now my child can claim she is an apple core eating person too.
Funny how when we don't teach our children something they will find their own way of doing things- I could try and tell her what to eat and not to eat but at this age I think that might be hopeless so I will just let her eat her apple her own way laughing a little every time the apple turns out like this. Just as a side note I gave her an orange slice the other day with a peel on it and forgot to tell her not to eat the peel. When I looked over a few minutes later there was no orange or peel left in her hand-I guess just a little extra vitamin C for her tummy!
