mmmm....meat.....

While you're pregnant or planning on having children you always set about one million parenting goals; one of my biggies was that my kid would be a good eater. I had read countless articles about how to introduce new foods into your child's diet or how to avoid the mishaps of picky eaters. I really didn't want one of those fussy kids who only ate 3 types of food or who only ate their mexican if it was wrapped specifically in a Taco Time wrapper.***

As luck would have it, we have not had to deal with any of these eating issues. Sophie loves to eat....everything! (including dog food, qtips, poo, markers, cell phones....) She does enjoy a good booby, but to our pleasant surprise her new favorite is MEAT. That kid will choose to eat her chicken or pork before she dives into anything else. Plus her list of "yummy yum-yums" goes on and on. She eats a wider variety of food than I even do at times- she's incredible!

The only thing she has ever had reservations about has been applesauce (I know weird huh). She would reluctantly open her mouth with each bite, shoulders heaving as though she could barf at any moment. God she's a great kid!


***Oh...we love our numero uno picky eater Joey!!! Eric's beautiful sis Temple would actually go to Taco Time specifically for the burrito wrappers to wrap Joey's food in so he would eat.

This picture cracks me up and sums up brilliant little Joe to a tee. Bridget had the cooks at Epi's serve Joey actual Taco Time instead of their 5 star traditional Basque cuisine. Pshhh...like he would ever dream of eating Basque food.... we love you Joe!
