Michael's eating habits lately have been making it very hard to parent him with a smile.
Take yesterday, for example:
I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with them. Who doesn’t like blueberry pancakes?
For lunch, I made him a peanut butter sandwich, and thankfully he ate it.
For dinner, I made chicken cacciatore. Now, I know that he’ll eat spaghetti, but all I had was linguine so that’s what I made. Well I guess Michael is not a big fan of linguine because he just looked at his dinner and dumped his plate over without even taking a bite first.
(Note to self: NEVER buy linguine again.)
And this morning again, he wanted nothing to do with the bowl of cereal that I put in front of him. I finally gave up and just let him eat a banana.
I know that toddlers his age don’t have very big appetites, and on the plus side, Michael does like to snack on fruit throughout the day.
So I should try not to get stressed out about his current eating habits because I can feel 3 new white hairs sprouting from my scalp as we speak.

Definitely not worth stressing over! This too shall pass...
At least his preferences aren't hard!

PS Thank you for leaving a comment on my behalf over at La Dolce Vita!
I have three girls who ALL have had their picky phases. They outgrow it...hopefully! Then again, my husband STILL won't eat broccoli...so I guess they don't ALL grow out of it!
Pick your battles...and bribery and physical threats can work WONDERS!
*giggle*

Good ol' peanut butter sandwich! I think my daughter lived on that for a while when she was four! She turned out okay . . . she is in the Marshall School of Business at USC right now! So, yeah, maybe picky eaters are special people! :D
