Well he suprised me the other day and ate some beef canelloni for lunch  . Wouldn't eat his own lunch, but ate some of mine instead.

Not a great day today.

B Shreddies, fruit toast, no milk
S Sweetcorn rings, refused banana
L Cheese on toast, apple
S Refused
D Potato faces, scrambled egg

Kirry - he naps at 11.30am ish but we are having issues with this. I can't seem to move the nap back without him short napping, but the long A to bed keeps creating OT as well. So it IS at a really difficult time. His snack is too early to make it lunch, but if you push it he is getting too cranly as he needs to nap. It is all a body clock issue I think - rather than a routine issue.

Lots of struggles with eating again this week - still in disagreement with DH about not making DS "whatever he will eat" as DH would rather cook him what he will eat and not bother with things that he won't - and I would rather offer him what I've made and if he doesn't want it, tough.  Will muddle through - I usually make him see the right way in the end 

Breakfast - toast with jam, milk, we went out and DH and I had McDonalds, DS went crazy in there having never been inside one before and loved it, ate their new griddle cake thingies (liek pancakes with the maple syrup cooked into them?, signed for more and cried because we had to leave
snack - raisin roll, bit of cheese
Lunch - cream cheese on toast, some peas and carrots
snack - baby biscuit, few organix corn rings, soy milk
Dinner -- FISH!!!!!!  he ate fish!!! slathered in zaziki so he couldn't taste it but still great! bakes beans, tomatoes and mango for dessert - then the cheerios I've ordered got delivered and he went crazy, so has had abotu three large handfuls of cheerios since then!

Not too bad of a day, eating wise, but it does still seem to be the same things on repeat day in day out :/

B-weetabix and a pear

L-tuna sandwich.tomatoes,bits of ham(obsessed with ham ),bit of cheese.banana

Since DH has been home.....he's taken to skipping set snack times and just feeding DD whenever she appears hungry/asks. I think he also keeps her up too long before naps in general...but she IS napping and IS eating so I can't complain too much.

Fri:
B-Oatmeal with raisins and milk
S-no idea...
L-Chicken parm sandwich and hash browns at Dunkin Donuts with DH and a munckin (given for free b/c she's cute --so DH says)
S-milk and raisins
D-pizza and water

Sat:
B-Milk and then went out to a diner with in-laws. She shared my veggie omelet w/ cheese and toast. apple juice.
S-cup of milk before nap (break was later than normal)


That's where we're at.

I want him to give her more set snack times and more VARIETY. The kid will eat almost anything so should NOT be having raisins for every meal. GRRRRRR

And also LESS fast food would be great. I feel like I am going to have to make foods ahead of time and leave them ready to go in the fridge, etc. And set up snacks other than raisins.

[Shiv52]

Nicole...as frustrating as it is, I have to leave a list of what DD eats for DH.  Otherwise he'd just microwave spaghetti hoops all the time. Such a pain.  Told him to make her scrambled egg for lunch today and he looked at me like I was asking to him to cook something really complex.   Men!

Today:

Breakfast:  cereal with blueberries
Snack:  Fruit pot, babybel
Lunch:  Spaghetti hoops!!! (not scrambled egg like I asked!) and not even a slice of toast!  Yogurts
Snack:  Slice of pizza

Dinner:  will be sweet potato and sauteed spinach, fruit

[mumofalice]

My DH is the same - wouldn't dream of 'making' a snack, if it's not a raisin box or in a snack packet then it's obviously not a snack 

Today
B: big bowl of porridge with raisins, milk, watered down OJ
S: half a toasted currant teacake, juice
L: chicken, lentil & veg soup with bread, water
S: piece of liquorice, yoghurt sesame snap
D: bit of naan bread - refused curry and rice and veg samosa  , couple of grapes

[~*Nicole*~]

I know, seriously. I even have a CAN OF PEAR SLICES in the cabinet...and other canned veggies, etc. Frozen broccoli...all of these things can be microwaved or served straight up!

I think I am going to make a list. I am already working full time...he gets the winter off (laid off for the season to collect unemployment since he does landscaping). He can surely prepare some foods.

The rest of today:

L-I think it was spaghetti rings (I went to the library and wasn't home when she woke up from her nap hungry!) maybe milk
S-bread with peanut butter, also cheerios that she found in a ziplock baggie from some outing we had been on who knows when, ewww
D-green beans with part of mommy's chicken and cheese sandwich and milk

[AshleyB]

Eating has been on and off since Chandler has both a sore throat and is cutting a molar:

B: french toast, veggie sausage (ate every bite after barely eating yesterday)
S: a nibble of oatmeal cookie
L: refused mac and cheese with peas and chicken meatballs
S:Offered her lunch again, and she ate about four bites
S: asked for banana--ate three bites
D: uncured hot dog, stuffing, mixed veg (ate all the hot dog, but chewed and spit out everything else), three bites of applesauce

Lots of water all day, and a fair amount of milk

[mumofalice]

I know, seriously. I even have a CAN OF PEAR SLICES in the cabinet...and other canned veggies, etc. Frozen broccoli...all of these things can be microwaved or served straight up!

Yes - but even opening a can of pear slices or microwaving frozen broccoli is hard work you know 
Guess who gave Alice her snacks today 

Today:
B: toast with jam and honey, asked for a banana (ate half), milk
S: yoghurt coated sesame snaps, juice
L:  banana pancakes with natural yoghurt and honey, asked for pear (ate half)
S: raisins, water
D: feta & olive quiche, boiled potatoes in herb butter, ignored leeks, cherries, asked for banana (ate the lot), water, small piece of cake, milk

[Mashi]

Breakfast - toast and jam.  Again.  (My DH isn't bad with snacks and meals, just can't bring himself to do anything but toast and jam for breakfast )
Snack - cheerios, baked beans while we ate our breakfast
Lunch: A big fat Nought. Just didn't want to eat a thing. No idea why!
Snack: Two pumpernickel bread rounds and some soy milk
Dinner: Spinach ravioli, roast chicken in zaziki, tinned peas, corn & red pepper, few bites of mango
