O is for "OH MY!"
I love this picture because it's probably the only solid proof I have that Ian, the world's pickiest eater has indeed eaten a healthy snack in his lifetime! This was taken on an apple picking trip three years ago with his kindergarten class. Who can blame him; what's better than apples straight from the tree?! Seriously though, this child is terrible with food! He is notorious for throwing up on at the dinner table when asked to follow the "one bite rule"; meats, any pasta or rice, most vegetables (especially cooked ones), and many fruits are potential gag inducers. We've had to develop a new rule for Ian; he can earn his coveted PBJ at dinner time if he first eats a fruit AND a vegetable in the serving size of our choice. Carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, green and red peppers, grapes, apple slices with peanut butter, and watermelon have all gone down with relatively little fuss. Hooray for glorious puke-free dinner times! And hooray for whole grain bread, natural peanut butter and Polaner All Fruit Grape Jelly; at least I'm sneaking SOME nutrition in! Do you have a picky eater?

Your brother was a pickie eater when he was young and so was your Uncle Sandy. Both have grown to eat almost anything.
There's hope Cammie
Ella can be she is not a gagger, but will just go with out eating to avoid having to eat a food she does not want. Of course all of the bad foods are her favoirte. She continues to elimiate food from her likes but does not replace them with anything new. so the list is getting very small.
I am so glad I am not alone! : ) My Cole is ridiculously picky and the "one bite rule" creates crying and tantrums beyond belief. I hate it!
I'm glad to hear someone else is going through this torture too. : )
They'll grow out of it, right? Right? : )

Not picky to the point of throwing up. What a challenge!!!
