Yay for new foods! Perhaps Genna rubbed off a bit ? However, thank GOD her “hitting” habit did not! 🙂

My kids were great eaters, we met Rod on the Inter-state passing thru Mustang, he had an ag teacher with him. We went the Kettle, the kids had only been aroung him a few time. Rod, friend and I were in a booth. Nathan and Shana were at a table for 2 by us. They got the menu and I helped them order, they were 5 and 7. They both loved spaghetti, the meal came and they both set their and stared at it, I got up, with my back to the table with Rod, facing the kids I asked “What is wrong” and they we are not eating this, and I am wanting to kill them and they said this is “Gross, look at all the water” The waitress came by and I exsplained it to her, she goes and draind the plates. Same thing they set their and stare. I get up again and by this time Rod starts to notcie I ask what is wrong they said this is just sauce and it don’t have any meat in it.. I did the grtit my teeth and said try a liitle bit and when leave we will stop at Micky D’s. I had to explain it to Rod and he said just order them something else, I didn’t tell him I was taling them to MCDonalads whene we leftl

I love reading your blog, it is so much better than Dr Spock, parenting magazine, or zig-lar, “How to raise positive kids in a negative World”. But I will tell you I am so much like you it is scary. For some reason I was always in charge of food at the office party’s. I had a frien Gail and she always would put fruit, fruit salad whatever, and I would always tell her we need more of the other stuff, stuff people would eat? I always made the homemade mashed potatoes, just because the dinner wouldn’t be complete. My niece Chandler always said I wait for the holiday dinner because she wanted Aunt Renee’s mashed potatoe’s, Charlene the same way, I thought how pathetic, most Aunt’s are famous for their noodles or cakes, pies, etc.

I agree with that statement of taking 20 times for a kid to accept a new food. I think sometimes it takes years. Today I just about flipped when Jonas ate pineapple after shunning it until now. He acted like he had never had a problem with it. . .

. . . As far as foods that I don’t –celery. . . what’s up with that vegetable? I even omit it from recipes most of the time. I also can’t say cauliflower is that tasty. . . Here’s something weird most of our kids like–olives! I can’t stand the green ones though.
