Jelly Baby

We have had several times where when we go shopping Ethan has requested Jelly. In the past what has happened is that as we go down the shopping aisle, he makes a big song and dance about how much he loves it, and how he needs it, and how he is going to eat it all up. We get home, make up a batch, and as we're making it he starts going "ewwwwww." By the time it sets and is ready to eat, he makes vomit sounds, and there's no way you're going to get any of that puppy down his throat.

So we came today, and Ethan hadn't been to the supermarket with me for a while. I made the daring journey of taking all three boys with me. We got to the Jelly Aisle, and Hey Presto! there was the request from Ethan for Jelly. He wanted Red. Aidan wanted Green. Callum was happy to sit in the trolley and pull Aidan's hair (revenge is sweet). As Jelly is cheap compared to bananas, I succumbed and bought one each.

After lunch we made up a batch of the Red Strawberry Flavoured jelly. Ethan did all the mixing, and we delicately put it in the fridge. He spent the rest of the afternoon checking on it. After dinner, for desert we got out the Jelly and Ice Cream. No Vomit, not even a throat tickle. He mushed it up and ate it all down. Even Callum got in on the act, and that was so cute it deserved a photo. All through the serving and eating process Anth and Ethan sang a new Jelly song I hadn't heard.

Wiggle Wobble, Wiggle Wobble.

Ciao for Now, Jelly Belly Angry Dad.
