Picky Eater

I am sure anyone who reads my blog knows that I am talking about my son Trenton. He continues to have eating issues. He is a crazy man when it comes to eating food.

Today was no exception. He has been a crazy one today. He is starving but I have no idea what he wants. At breakfast he said pancakes, yes he actually said the word, so I made him some, even put chocolate chips in them, but would he eat them, no way. He seemed fine until I cut it for him, then all h.e.double hockey sticks broke out. He was screaming and throwing his plate and all things tantrum like. I knew he was hungry, but what to do.

After awhile of Jennedy explaining that his screaming was hurting her ears, I carted him off to his crib to "cry it out" in peace.

As soon as he was done, I got him out of bed and begged him to show me what he really wanted to eat. He got a bowl and I went through every freaking box of cereal we own, he finally settled on honey bunches of oats, thank heavens. I then proceeded to feed him, he calmed down and all was well. Victory!!!!

I don't get it....the kid will put crazy things in his mouth from Polly pocket accessories to red sharpie pens, he will eat a crayon, or play dough, rocks, sand, hair rubber bands, and even random fuzz of the carpet, but food, NO WAY
Here he is after drawing on both legs then arms and eating the tip off of the red sharpie yesterday. Little stinker.

Still I cant get him to try lunch meat, or any meat for that matter. He wont even let it go near his mouth. The only vegetable that he will let go near his mouth is a pickle. Troubling to say the least

So Trenton just woke up from his nap starving. I was going insane from the screaming and yelling of eat eat eat.(new word, hooray!) We explored the kitchen, he has no idea what he wants. I was frustrated to say the least. So I shut him down stairs and decided I was going to assemble everything that he has been know in the past to eat and let him choose. Waaallaa.


He got his own horderve tray. Yes I suspect he is spoiled. But I cant let him starve. Now at least he has stopped screaming and he can eat to his hearts delight all his favorite treats.


What is in his tray you ask?
apples (I hid chocolate chips underneath) He found those fast and he ate them up
pickles (his veggie of choice)
Crackers
Veggie Chips
Nips
English muffins with butter (cut in half)
Cheese
Craizens
and Graham Crackers
There you have it. Yummy for him.
