My Picky Eater: Days 1 and 2 Videos


Not much progress was made today. I had eggs over hard, or fried, this morning, and he noticed some pieces were particularly crunchy, wanted to try it, and ate it. He ate two pieces that were more crunchy and wanted nothing to do with the rest of the eggs on his tray. Lunch and dinner went the same as yesterday: He ate one thing and played with the rest until he was over it. Joseph and I figure that he'll be quite ravenous and finally "get it" within the next couple days, so he'll start eating more of what's on his plate.

I want to chronicle as much of his progress as possible in eating, so I'm going to try to take videos and/or pictures daily. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to see photo uploads there. Below is a video from today's short-lived sensory play, followed by the video of him yesterday during snack.

My Picky Eater

The end of day 1 lunch--demolished and largely uneaten
I'm a natural mama trying to make healthy food choices for me and my family by eating more raw foods, lots of vegetables, cutting gluten, cutting sugar and limiting dairy for me and the hubby. However, what's a natural mama to do with a picky eater?! This has been my dilemma since day one with this boy. We had a hard time getting going with breastfeeding, transitioning to baby food, and now, he barely eats any table food. He's TWO now, so this had to stop. Many kids his age are eating most of the stuff their parents and siblings are eating, but not my son! Until now...
