Dinner



Riley doesnt look too happy here..She was told to eat her salad before I gave her the rest of the meal.
I usually give the kids their salad (or veggies) first. When they finish that they'll get the main course -- then the bread. Their pediatritian told me to do this 3 years ago(he'd asked me how they eat and I told him how picky they were).. They used to refuse the green food. They would gag and cry. It was mostly Liam that was the picky eater. Riley was a good eater when she was a toddler. I think Liam influenced her a bit. William says I spoil them because I'd fix what they wanted..If they didnt like our dinner then I'd make a pb&j... It got out of hand so I don't do that anymore.
They are much better. I still get complaints even though they know they won't get the "good stuff" until the veggies are gone(they try to bargin.."3 bites of greens then a bite of bread?".
They only eat what we eat. I don't make seperate food for dinners I think they'll have a problem with. Sometimes I'll give them choices. They are much better now.. we're still working on having good nutrition.
Tonight: salad, hamburger helper, bread
