Honestly what would we do without Chicken nuggets!! I am losing a food war!!! After chatting with my neighbor and hearing stories about her son a very picky eater, I have decided to address the issue in my own home before we start going through what she does. Well, I have to start by saying Peyton will eat all the fruits and vegetables you want. But meat or pasta is not for him, Yet!!
I have started and stopped this battle so many times. But I really am trying to stick with it. One night we had a straight John wayne showdown over mashed potatoes because he said they were not from KFC!!.....UGGGHHH I think we have created a monster. Peyton could live on fruits, vegetables and the occasional fast food but I am afraid he is missing out on protein etc. Lately on BIG school days where he has to eat lunch he dreads it.Our neighbor tells me stories of making 2 dinners and a kid who can't stay at people's houses because he gets so hungry because he won't eat anything. I must say some of the things they serve are different than what we ate in school. Honey BBQ wings, pepperoni calzones, etc. So I am sure the teachers are having the battle I am too. ( I will find out tomorrow at parent teacher conferences). If anyone has any advice I will take it. I have heard about letting them try to prepare the meal. I am doing that Today I let him help me make fruit salad with whip cream and marshmallows. Umm he ate the whip cream by it self but refused in the salad. Crying and screaming " I don't want cream!!!"
So wish me good luck and pray for me to have patience and grace during this period!!!
