And where has my bread disdaining, pb&j hating son gone????
Do you see what's in the little man's hand? Would you believe he begged to eat it for lunch today (with a cold glass of milk just like his moma)???
Let me tell you... I feel like I've gotten really creative over the past 3 years trying to find easy to pack lunch food for this little bread hater. It's been a slow process getting him to eat bread of any kind, starting first with french toast, then french toast with peanut butter, then toast with peanut butter, then bread with pb&j open faced to finally the easy to stow and go pb&j sandwich. Each step took months of reintroduction and patience, (Oh, mercy... the patience!!!) but we're finally there!!!
Don't even bother trying to use anything but wheat bread though or it WILL be refused. I don't really mind. We don't usually have anything around the house besides wheat/multigrain bread anyway. Don't cut the crusts off either. That's one of his favorite parts (and so much more economical and time efficient). Oh the lunch/picnicking possibilities!!!
Hallelujah!

Lol! Gotta love picky little eaters! We need to get together! What are you guys up to next week? Let me know when you can play. :)
Yay for Alec! Now, can he get Jakob to do this feat?! Jakob will eat bread for Greg, but not for me, and just plain, no peanut butter or jelly. But he'll eat peanuts finally, so maybe--eventually-- he'll take to the PB&J. Someday.
