We ate veggies from the garden this weekend!!
Just three green beans, but it’s a start. Here is Lex eating
his. He was very excited to be able to pick them and wash them
(they had dirt all over them). He was less excited about eating
them :)

Lex is a very picky eater.
There are only a few things he’ll eat and he rarely ever will
even try new things. The funny thing is that he loves to help
me make dinner. He gets very excited about making salad, to the
point that sometimes he opens the fridge and starts getting out
the veggies and says “wanna make a little salad now” But he
never eats the salad!! He was also quite happy to help me make
beans and rice on Friday night. I asked him if we should have
peas or broccoli with it and he picked broccoli… and then he
ate the broccoli!! I was shocked. He ate three whole
toddler-servings. It did have some grated cheddar on it, but
I’ve put that on other things that he refuses to touch and it
hasn’t helped before. So we were very quiet about it and just
kept giving him more until he decide he’d had enough. He still
didn’t touch the beans and rice (despite being thrilled to help
cook it) but I figured broccoli and milk was a good enough
dinner :)

Eve is also a picky eater in
her own way. She doesn’t get much choice in food, but she is
very particular about the ambiance. She prefers her meals in
quite, calm areas. Can’t say I blame her really, but it makes
it difficult when we are out and about. I was at a playgroup
today and we had to head home a bit early because she was
hungry but wouldn’t eat amid all the commotion. So we came home
to our own quiet living room and she enjoyed her meal.
