okay so i have one child that is almost 4 and one child that is almost 1....seriously, the 1 year old eats a better variety of food than the 4 year old...we need to pick a day, set a goal and stick to it....Nick will eat what we offer him or he won't eat at all....it is time.....
emma has tried more new foods and actually eaten them in the last month than nick has in the last year.....it is soooo frustrating.....poor girl is having to do all that her brother wouldn't but she will be a better eater because of it....if we don't get it started before nick's 4th bday i would have to say that we will have to do it by his 4 year check with the pediatrician...i think i'm going to have her scare the crap out of him, insist that he has to try new foods....is that a cop out????? regardless, it has to happen....he eats and is healthy but will not try new things, sticks to just the staple foods he has agreed to eat and i'm tired of it, mike is tired of it and i'm sure nick is tired of the same shit every other day.....
OKAY - GOAL
on or before his 4 year check with dr. carillo we will switch to only offering nick the meal that is being cooked - no special meals, no cereal for dinner, no wendy's chix nugget runs except for special treats like thursdays when he goes to grammies house....this is it.....

It's a good goal.
Stick to it.
Tanner has gone to bed on several occasions without eating much dinner because he won't try or eat what is placed in front of him...
They won't die trying new foods, or not eating one whole meal, just keep that in mind.
Does he do well with a sticker chart? maybe a goal in mind will help him...a sticker for each new food he tries?
