As long as he eats...

Typical of all toddlers, Jax has developed a definite sense of likes and dislikes and has realized (much to my dismay) that he can voice (loudly) those preferences. And while he exercises this new found voice of his all dang day long, it is during meal times that he shares his opinion loudest. Ok Ok...so this is just a nice way of saying the kid is picky! I understand that bananas, grapes, chicken nuggets and grilled cheese are yummy...but when that's ALL he eats?? Anyhow...during a visit to brand new cousin Wyatt, Jax was introduced to food on a stick (thank you Edible Arrangements). So we, in all our parenting wisdom, have taken the novelty of eating things off of a stick and used it to our advantage! Since offering things skewered Jax has eaten fruit, veggies, fish, chicken and cheese! We do reserve the sticks for special meal times but so far if it comes on a stick Jax is eating it! And if we add a little dip, or deeiiipp as Jax likes to call it, on the side we have one happy eating toddler! ;-)
