He'll Skip the Buffet

Ever had a picky eater?

A friend of mine was telling me that her 4-year-old son is very limited on what he will eat. She explained that "limited" meant FOUR THINGS. And NO fruit. None.

I thought SURELY there has to be a fruit this kid likes. NO grapes. No strawberries. No watermelon. No apple slices. No nothin.

No veggies. No corn on the cob. No green beans. No carrots.

No pasta.

What DOES this kid eat?

Chicken nuggets.

Hamburger on a bun.

Peanut Butter and jelly.

Bowl of cereal.

I guess it is safe to say my friend doesn't spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen.

I'm still that picky and I'm 22! My poor mother could never figure out a way to get me to eat anything besides hamburgers, pasta, and pizza. I still won't eat any fruit. Good thing I'm healthy!

I'm so lucky that my child will eat ANYTHING!!! And when I say anything, I mean it...chili, chinese food, tomatos (she LOOKS for those in her salad). Last night she ate a piece of deer jerky. Bleck! The girl won't turn down a morsel. I joke that she's a teenage boy trapped in a 3 year olds body. ALWAYs asking for a snack. And she's the dinkiest little thing. Just barely over 30 lbs and will be 4 in five days!
