Dear Kaylee,

This is a fun time in your life when you get to try all different kinds of food. There are some foods that are just like when I was a baby. Like apple sauce and tiny pieces of chicken. Then there are the different foods that you eat that I didn’t have when I was a baby. Yogurt, and puffs, for instance. We had puffed cereal we would eat later, but they were too hard to swallow for a baby. Your puffs melt in your mouth. You even have yogurt puffs!

Another thing that is different is your mommy and daddy are careful that your food is really healthy. Take a Popsicle, for instance. Ours were iced fruit flavor sugar on a stick. Yours are real iced fruit juice and vegetable mix on a stick.

But, one thing you and Grandpa eat together is a peanut butter sandwich. I used to eat peanut butter toast every morning with my daddy, your Great Grandpa Hanson. Now I eat eat this with you, because you take bites of mine. And you had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with me, too, at the preschool Mother’s Day brunch. Don’t tell my friend Kate Stewart about that, though. She calls them, “Fat and Sugar”sandwiches.

Sorry, Miss Kate!

Love,
Grandpa
