Eating.

oh, and the older kid doesn't like any kind of fruit, in any form. it's odd, since he does like sweet things. but i think he has some food-texture issues (which probably tie in to some of his other issues that i mentioned on another thread). in any case, we've found over time that trying to cajole, bribe, bully or otherwise compel him to eat or even try things he doesn't want to is an excercise in frustration for everyone. he's immensely stubborn about this, and he would rather (as demonstrated repeatedly) go to bed with no ice cream than put anything in his mouth that he doesn't want to.

-- with all meals, we still feed him gerber pureed vegetables, because he'll gulp down green beans and carrots all day as long as they're not in physical, crunchy form.

this is interesting because beeps has texture issues too and ate vegetable in puree form quite happily. maybe we should try that again.

Never thought of that. Should have since Ophelia used to eat the veggie pots that Elisabeth ate proclaiming the fruit pots were awesome. roffle. Ah well. I'm not too bothered really. She grows, she's happy. I figure she'll grow out of it. For now I force her to eat at least two pieces of veggies.

A significant portion of my starch is coming from beer.
