Our sweet little boy has turned into a very finicky eater. On Saturday, after his marathon portrait sitting that I neglected to write about, we took him to eat "breakfast" at Buffalo Grille. Trey dined on pancakes (no syrup) and loved them, so much so that when I fed him the leftovers for lunch the next day, he begged for more pancake pieces in lieu of the vegetables on his tray. Last night we gave him some chicken fingers and fruit. Trey loved the chicken fingers, but refused to eat the fruit. When we put the pieces in his mouth, he immediately spit them out, then whined for more chicken. Trying to negotiate with the little 9-month-old, we told him he couldn't have any more chicken until he ate his fruit. He still refused. So, we resorted to other measures and put him in "time out" by turning his high chair around for 45 seconds. I'm sure the little guy had no clue what was going on, but I suppose we have to start somewhere.
Meanwhile, we have the issue of getting Trey to actually eat fruits and vegetables! He loves beans, Cheerio's and all things carbs and meat. I guess he is a real man. Hopefully this is just a phase and it won't stick. After all, he thoroughly enjoyed dining on strawberries and bananas at Mommy's birthday dinner Saturday night.
