Tonight for dinner, Madeline ate the following: half a broiler cheese sandwich, a pile of peaches, chunked avocado, mashed potatoes, zucchini pieces, and apple juice.Tonight for dinner, Ethan cried for over an hour over the ½ inch square of broiler cheese sandwich he was required to eat before getting anything else. Considering he likes toast and cheese, you would think it wouldn’t be that hard. But cheese sandwiches are NOT part of his “normal” dinner and so therefore it is. Over the last three days we have made Ethan try scrambled eggs, tuna fish, zucchini, and now cheese sandwiches. I know, I know, Todd and I are very mean parents . . . I’m happy to report though, that after the hour and ten minutes of crying, Ethan ate his square of sandwich and then got the rest of his food. We ended the night with a lovely game of “Go Fish” and he went to bed happy.
Phew . . .

Ohhhh you are such meanies. :) If Banks had it his way, he'd ask for Ramen noodles for every meal (including breakfast) and then throw them on the floor instead of eating them! haha Kids and their food habits are funny.
ohhh man, hang in there!! It's a battle of endurance. You can do it!! :)
Oh my goodness I can relate all too well!! I would like to tell you it gets better... but well actually it does Lucas only cries for about 10 minutes now :)
Miss Madeline just like Miss Alex, you go girls!!!!
You are not mean. Sometimes we have to make them try new foods so that they know they like them. He may still be a picky eater but at least you are trying.
We miss you. But I am glad that we can follow you through your blog
