Picky Eater

Some say the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I say the best way to get a little man to eat his vegetables is with M&Ms.





Most of you know that I was once a ridiculously picky eater [Yeah, Yeah, I'm still pretty picky too]. Well, my son has inherited the gene from his mommy dearest. We're still feeding him baby food vegetables just to get them in him, and lately it has become a real chore to get him to eat those veggies. He has issues with textures. What can I say? I did too. I still do. But, I've got to get them in him somehow.

I've found that if I wave one M&M in front of him and let him know that if he eats half of his veggies he gets the M&M. Works like a charm. I even offered a second M&M if he finished them. In the end, I had a happy little man full of squash and two delicious M&Ms!
