he's always trying wacky things. At least he has a sense of adventure and isn't a picky eater. The biggest battle is over sugar.
Absolutely. I have heard horror stories about super picky eater kids. You should get on your knees and thank God he isnt.

I'm lucky with both of them...they both eat like horses. At some point I'm sure we'll go through some phases where they get picky but right now I'm happy they eat healthy (tonight not withstanding
) and in quantity.

+1When they're teenagers this won't be a good thing.
My family should be thankful for me. I ate about a meal a week.
...Actually...maybe that's just how often they fed me and I got used to it...

He will once he gets into trading in the school lunchroom. Still, that sammich doesn't look half bad compared to what some kids eat. I do religious retreats a couple times a year, and one of them usually involves teenagers. The last one I did, there was this 16 yr old pair of twin girls who ate a macrobiotic diet. Parents raised 'em that way, and that's okay. Problem was, they knew going in that the food we served was decidedly non-macrobiotic. It's more of a comfort food/ summer camp/ sleepover type gig, and not restaurant food. One of 'em opened up a huge can of worms with her parents by telling them that she couldn't get any fresh fish cooked for her. She decided to go hungry, and her parents got pissed.

That kind of crap just irks me. I hate when people pull that kind of stuff.
Ha. Nice.
I love that he can't look away from TV for a second to take that last picture. That's just like half of my childhood photos.
That is exactly him

We dealt with that at home with the 'everyone eats the same thing' method when they were young. We refused to make then any special meals when they didn't like the food we served. You get what you get. They don't have to eat. It seems to have worked decently well. We are mean parents...
Now, they still don't like certain foods (one hates fresh tomatoes, another hates nearly all potato dishes) but they will eat just about anything.
