Really confuse her: Mix the pears in with the carrots.
I have non-picky eaters because I really didn't let them decide. It was food; if they were hungry, that's what they were eating. I marvel at parents who let their babies reject foods by making a face, and then wonder why their four-year-old will only eat macaroni and cheese.
I'm with Rox on this. P's doctor yesterday was floored because he asked him what he doesn't like to eat. P said "I don't really like hamburgers if I can have something else." He said "Spinach? Brussel Sprouts? Peas? Tomatoes?" P said "I LOVE tomatoes and spinach, especially in a salad!" The doctor was floored. He looked at me and I said "We have to give him his own tomato bush or else he eats all the tomatoes in the garden. He'll eat anything. He loves mexican and italian and thai and indian food. He LOVES greek food. " P said "Yeah! My mom made these greek tacos they were AWESOME!" I said "Gyros." I told him that M is a pickier eater, he doesn't like plain rice. You're not a picky eater, either. You even liked beets, even though I fed them to you at arms length while I made yucky faces. And look at how you feel about watermelon, which I still don't like.
:) It's not like I'm not going to try again, she just hasn't been into the fruits that much yet. I mixed bananas into her cereal this morning, and she ate it. She wasn't as enthusiastic about it as the carrots, or the plain cereal, but she at as much as she normally does.
A case of them is $52 for 128, compared to $10 for 48. If I'm doing the math right (could be, could be not, it's two in the morning, I could be doing it backwards for all I know,)
$52/128 = $0.41/diaper $10/48 = $21/diaper
The ones you've been buying are the cheaper option.
PS The hyper-greenies in Ann Arbor have determined that it's an environmental wash (pun intended) between using cloth diapers and disposables, because of the amount of energy and nasty chemicals (e.g. bleach) needed to sanitize the cloth diapers. A baby will use about 1 disposable every 3-4 hours, but 1 cloth diaper every 1-2 hours, because the disposables are really good at keeping baby dry, and cloth isn't. Babies also tend to be in a better mood in disposables - which really annoys the moms who want to use cloth. The successful cloth users eventually admit that they got a diaper service, and didn't actually wash all those diapers themselves.
Cost works out to be about the same, once you add up the cost of water and detergent and gas and electricity plus the original cost of the cloth diapers. If you add in a cost for time spent washing diapers, it gets really ugly.
There are rumors that a local store now stocks disposable diapers made from sugar cane stalks which can be largely composted, but I haven't checked that out.
