chicken, french fries, and ketchup

blah.

chicken. french fries. ketchup.

my son's favorite meal. 

didn't used to bother me... but after 6 years of the same favorite meal, I feel blah.

the smell of it is blah.

the look is blah.

still his favorite, though...



Does anyone have a way for me to spice up this meal for him? or do I just let him have this as his special treat once every week or so. I find myself always going back to it as a sure fire way to get him to eat a full meal. The chicken, a half a dozen fries or so, some fruit, and some corn (one of the only veggies he will eat), a glass of milk.

I know I'm not the only one who has children that are "picky" eaters. 

Now my 3-year-old is going through a food thing. He's becoming more picky. Refusing things he normally loves... just plain not eating at all some days.

My plan?

Offer him a variety of foods that his father and I are eating.

He doesn't eat?

I guess he's hungry... or he'll eat when he IS hungry.


Thoughts? Help?



I'm tired of chicken and fries. Anyone else?

  1. Me too and I've only done it for (almost) three years! I figure I give him a variety of foods, just like you said, and he'll eat when he's hungry! As long as he gets his milk and daily vitamin, I'm not too concerned about it.
