Great post, Kellie, and who can blame Nolan - mint chocolate chip ice cream is pretty fabulous, and there is even one called 'Mediterranean Mint' made by Talenti that is outstanding if you can find it...not that I would know, but it is Mediterranean, right??? As for my 18mo old and 3 yr old, they both will try one bite of what I put in front of them, sometimes followed by a less-than-graceful spit out. With both, I have found that the longer they sit there with no tastier alternatives appearing (e.g., I used to cave and get them a yogurt or banana or gawd-forbid mac-n-cheese > but no more!), then the more likely they are to eat what is in front of them. We'll see how organized I am to get meal on table at their dinner time in order to do family dinners....so far it looks like maybe only 4 nights a week may be it for family time at the table!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846014851450816942.post-74738742219110082202013-03-06T14:40:03.871-05:002013-03-06T14:40:03.871-05:00Hey Kellie, The rule in our house growing up was y...Hey Kellie, The rule in our house growing up was you had to try a little bit of everything. If you didn't like it, fine, don't eat it. Unless you make a big fuss about not liking it...then you had to eat it ALL. I remember a torturous session with three figs that last a couple of hours at the dining room table when I was growing up. Now I love figs, then not so much. My family always says something about it when they see me eating figs. I’m not suggesting you go to extremes but we have done this with our boys, almost 7 & 9, and our neighbor's son when he eats at our house. They have been amazed at what they end up liking.Pam Lhttp://www.artisticfeast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846014851450816942.post-72034192509808307002013-03-06T09:50:49.924-05:002013-03-06T09:50:49.924-05:00GREAT article!
