My little Gray is becoming quite independent. Or at least he is trying to show me that he wants to be.
He is mostly expressing this through his food. Gray has been on a pea kick lately. He has been eating them for lunch or dinner every day for the past week or two. Today at lunch I made him a yummy looking pea/shredded chicken mixture and he literally would not eat it. He cautiously picked up a pea and stuck his tongue out and licked it and then promptly smeared it onto his highchair tray. He did this with eggs for the last three weeks and then for some reason today he ate all of the eggs that I gave him.
I don’t blame him for trying to control his food. He really can’t control much else. I know it’s only going to get worse from here (as far as the picky eating goes).
What do you guys do to trick your kids into eating healthy stuff?
