better jump on before I forget!

so far today:

breakfast - cheerios & soy milk
snack - pretzels (Alphabet shaped - very educational   )
lunch - slice of bread & banana chunks dipped in banana/prune babyfood, soy milk

supper will be pizza, she loves to eat the crusts only now & I made some jello for "dessert"

[Mashi]

Having some horrid eating here lately, getting beyond a joke tbh.

Breakfast - his usual milk, dry cheerios and 2 slices of toast with jam.  offer anything else and beware the wrath...
Snack - half of a dried fruit bar (perhaps like the humzinger bars you UK ladies have, not sure)
Lunch - REFUSED mac&cheese.  homemade, lovingly, by his mamma.  what toddler won't eat mac&cheese?  instead had 2 slices of leber kaese....literally liver-cheese but is neither liver nor cheese...it's sort of a balogna/mortadella type thing...i guess?
Snack - slice of cheese and half of a banana
Dinner - refused his pasta with pesto which is one of his fave's, ate more leber kaese, a few chunks of pineapple, a bread roll,  and some of my apple

He's REALLY driving me batty at the moment, it does not matter WHAT we give him at dinner he just freaks at it and shouts BLECH and refuses to have anything to do with it.  The other night we were having ham with pineapple for dinner and he would not even go near the pineapple, freaked with it on his tray, signed he didn't like it, bleched the one taste right out.  Not 30 stinkin' seconds later when I presented THE SAME PINEAPPLE as his pudding (dessert) he lapped it up.  He's just decided that he doesn't like dinner, end of.

How funny is he Mashi!!!!! you know i think a lot of it is just for us! The other day D was tucking in to some birthday cake that she had from a party.she couldnt get it in fast enough,she was loving it.i stupidly made a comment like 'oh Daisy,are you enjoying your cake?' she threw it down and said 'its scusting(disgusting!!!) MADAM!!!!

  what toddler won't eat mac&cheese? 

Masyn hates mac & cheese, and although we haven't been giving Spencer dairy, once upon a time I did give her a spoonful and she took it piece by piece and tossed it on the floor! DH hates it too, so if I make it I get it all to myself!

Your 2  sound just like my DS - very "willful" !!

B - weetabix and warm milk, dry cheerios, cheesy biscuits (?!), fruit tea
S - breadsticks, half of my apple, few organix cheese puffs, water
L - sauteed potatoes, beef stew, sweetcorn and carrot, fromage frais, pieces of banana, water
S -few cheeses puffs, raisins
Tea - peanut butter on toast, half a small cup cake, fromage frais, raisins, water
Supper - cheerios and warm milk

Feel a bit uninspired and out of ideas for teatime!! Also DS seems fussier at teatime and won't have any sort of sandwich except peanut butter. Used to like cream cheese and mushroom pate (not together)
but not now! Also would eat omelettes before but gone off those too.

He's just decided that he doesn't like dinner, end of.

You know Mashi, Colin went through a phase where if we referred to anything as a meal (B, L or D) he would have NOTHING to do with it. We just called everything a snack and that was acceptable. Never did figure out the issue though.

PMSL at Mini Mashi and Daisy with the cake - I have to agree I think it's all for us - food is the one thing they can 'control' after all. Heaven forbid that they might make you happy by enjoying what you've lovingly prepared 

Alice is still on an eating spree at the moment:
B: boiled egg and toast, 2 satsumas, OJ
S: (at playgroup) refused pear slices but happily tucked in to some cheese curl snacks, juice
L: beans on toast, water, 1/2 gingerbread man
S: fruit bar, water
S: made some muffins (cottage cheese, sun-dried toms, etc) so had one of those warm
D: jacket potato with cheese and green olives - ate it all inc more than half the skin (my favourite bit  ), yoghurt, another muffin (spotted from across the kitchen and signed more cake!), pear, other half of gingerbread man, hot chocolate

[squeakersmum]

Eugh - well most of what has been eaten today has been brought back up 

B - banana, readybrek - this was then regurgitated and sprayed around my kitchen
S - chocolate chip cake bar (I know, v bad but felt sorry for the poor mite), few corn snacks
L - dairylea on bread, 1 blueberry, more corn snacks...all of which then beautifully adorned my coffee table...partly digested of course.
S - Yoghurt coated raisins in pushchair walking to shop (I figured at least we'd be outside if they came back!!!)
D - Smoked mackrel and cheesy mash - puree fruit pot.  He wolfed the lot, must have been really hungry! 

On the plus side, I think that the sickness today was because he has been coughing so hard (as a side note; can teething cause coughing? I was thinking about all the extra saliva and wondering if this has been giving him reflux/indigestion problems thus the cough), rather than actual 'sickness'.

Dinner tonight:

half an avocado
$5 worth of out-of-season blueberries
Stouffer's spinach souffle
two bites of Whole Foods jumble cookie
milk

[MLK]

Ashley, that's funny abouthe blueberries. I bet she won't like when they're in season! DS1 can inhale a $9 punnet of raspberries in 2 mins.

We haven't had good eating here for the past week due to bottom canines coming through. The top ones took 3 MONTHS to finish and now the bottom ones are on their way - ugh!

Ahhhhh I am so glad to hear this is not a unique phase!!!  Will try to call things snacks and see how it goes. Although when we say it's dinner time he makes a mad rush for the kitchen and monkeys up his highchair signing hungry.  Two seconds later is saying blech and signing finished.  We bought him a little wooden table and chair set for colouring, playing cars, etc, and DH has been suggesting we let him eat dinner there. I am not so sure, but might give it a try.  We have also started calling everything "pudding"

[LucySol]

what about a chair that fits on to one of your chairs? we just got a gr8 one,really cheap and i know you are heading over here soon? Daisy is eating so much better sitting on a chair like the rest of us.

worth a thought?
