Both of mine are picky, in different ways. They are unpredictable. I have gotten to where I tell G if she doesn't want to eat it, "your belly will be hungry tonight, and that's ok" (smile and be cheery, like it's your choice and either way mommy doesn't care) and then she usually makes another attempt She is also really good about behavior books, so we read "how do dinosaurs eat their food" to her and since dinosaurs always try one bite, she will now, when reminded that dinosaurs try one bite.

She doesn't like slimy foods usually but then there are a few she does.... so NO to macs & cheese but she wants to eat salad with creamy italian. But no dip on her chips, too blechy she says

Alek is so picky, he refused to eat more than a taste of apple pie tonight He is a big fan of fruit, will eat it all day...juice (watered down) junkie! loves carrots, corn, peas. Will eat a few other veggies. Doesn't always eat meat but eating more of it recently. LOVES popcorn (Yes I know not a safe food for his age) He actually probably eats a wide variety of stuff but not a lot so it always seems like he didn't eat anything. I need to cut him back on the juice!
