Favorite Food List

As a parent I remember how hard it was to get my son Matt to try different foods! He was a very picky eater. Most of the time if we didn't have something he liked for dinner he would just ask for a "Peanut Butter Sandwich". Rather than go through the Drama every nite of Forcing him to eat green veggies I gave in(by the way I don't like those little green mushy peas! To this day I gag when I look at them).
Now that Matt is a father of two he is faced with the same problem. All though he does eat better now! How can you make your children eat food you will not eat?
When My Daughter-in-law Crystal showed me Sammy's list today I started thinking how many times we tried to trick him to get him to try new things. We would put a Big Gob of green baby food on a spoon, smile and say "Ummm this is good"!  Have you ever tasted baby food? It is NOT good!
He was only fooled into trying it once!! It came right back out! After that his little mouth was sealed! We couldn't get him to try anything else.
Sammy is 6 now and his list of Favorite food has 7 foods on it! Wow that's good! He is adding a food every year! I love that "Carrots made the Number 5 spot! That's right in case you couldn't tell that it Carr-etts! It was confirmed by Mom! The C is silent!
I can't wait to see Maddie's list! I'm sure her list will have at least 5 different fruit on it :)
