When I was pregnant, I prayed for a healthy child that would not be a picky eater. So far so good. He eats everything. He doesn't eat often or a lot when he does, but he hasn't turned any food down so far. Well.. tonight I was fixing his dinner and he kept calling it hot dogs. I kept correcting him and saying it was chicken and rice. I guess he didn't believe me because when I put some in his bowl he said, "NO, I NO LIKE IT!" I was appalled! He has never said that before, and no one in our household has ever said that! Where does it get that stuff from! So, I told him if he didn't eat it, he would be hungry. I sat down with my bowl and he wanted a bite (I had the exact same thing!) He loved it. I showed him his bowl and he brought it to his little table! That turkey!
Are all kids, (2 year-olds) like this? We are thinking about having another kiddo, but he can be a hand-ful some days. We are very structured with him. We praise and we punish. I know we are doing our best as parents right now. I just don't want him to grow up and be a defiant child. That is the one thing I have no patience for!
