Those w/ picky toddler Eaters- this is helping us!

So I have posted a plenty about how bad an eater Noah is, he was even falling off the charts and we had him evaluated and he gets a nutritionist to help us.

He will eat the same 3 foods and only that and not even that sometimes.

Anyway..lately he has wanted to "Help" cook.

It is working like a charm in getting him to eat what he makes.

Now dont get me wrong, this makes things take MUCH longer and much messier ( milk on the floor, counters a mess etc) ...but I will take it if he is eating new things.

So far this week he has eaten a TON of new stuff...Tuna helper, Spinach fettunicine, sandwiches etc. he has NEVER even attempted to try these.

He pours things in, stirs them, helps me w/ the timer and then gets excited when it goes off, yells DONE...and sits and waits.

Many times ( most) he only eats a mouthful, but he is TRYING.

So maybe this will help some of you all. I hope it does.
