For those of you who know me well, know I always have an apple (or two, or three) in my purse. Why? Because apples help calm her down. When she gets anxious, she always looks toward food. Thankfully, we noticed early on her tendencies for comfort food. And we quickly suggested an apple - not apple slices but a whole apple. Eating the apple helps calm her down. It truly is amazing.
Some days she'll just cradle the apple and hold on to it for hours. It really is important to find a calming mechanism for our anxious children. I'm just glad her comfort foods are healthy!
If she were in Eve's place, we would not have original sin. She would have consumed the apple herself and never offered it to Adam. (I am just joking, btw.)
