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

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

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