The Abundant Life-of the Barnes Family

Sunday, February 25, 2007




My kids are GOOD eaters. You'd never know it by how they look, but it's true. Rowan has always been a champ at trying new things and frequently eats things like shrimp, arugula salad, turns down chocolate cake a birthday parties and such. Holland has followed closely in his footsteps, but since she's been sick so much, her appetite ebbs and flows in rather extremes. For instance, for days she'll eat little more than goldfish and drink at a meal, but when she's hungry, LOOK OUT. I made the mistake of taking her to the grocery store with me where she screamed at the top of her lungs "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy" while signing "more, more more more more" continuously. I clearly underestimated her hunger on this particular day. When we got home she went tearing through the grocery bags scrounging for food. I captured a few pictures before I finally found something to feed to her.

I am soooooooo JEALOUS!!! I am struggling right now with 2 very picky eaters! Seriously-dinner these days normally ends with mommy very exasperated and saying something like-I do not give you food that tastes bad so EAT IT!!!!

I know this is somehow my fault, although I can't figure out what I did wrong! I am NEVER a short order cook-what I make is what you get,or you go hungry-my kids are not big snackers or juice drinkers, and I try to give them different things-vegetables etc. HELP! how do you get your kids to try different stuff??
