Bananas and Cheese
Ezra loves bananas and cheese. Bananas and cheese make a food-playing Ezra drop a ball of unwanted food and reach, pinch and lift a chunk of banana or cheese into mouth. Banana or cheese are never foods that he will push to the edges of the high chair tray and never foods that he picks up and drops on the floor (an obvious way Ezra has for showing us he is bored with a type of food or full of food). The sight of a banana or a piece of cheese can cause him to raise and lower legs hanging from chair and incite him to slap the smeared-food-covered-high-chair tray with both hands and let out a baby shout.
