So, as we are finding out, we were generally spoiled with Alec when he was a baby, toddler, and boy with his eating habits. Alec would eat almost anything and would enjoy almost anything. There were (and still are) the normal struggles with veggies and such, but overall he has a very good appetite and variety of foods that he will eat. Aaron is a different story.
Aaron is ME as a child. That's right, my Mom is LAUGHING at me now because I have a child JUST like me when I was little. Aaron loves milk, pizza, yogurt, tortillas, fruit, pasta, hotdogs and on a good day, chicken nuggets and floutas. That is about it...except of course for SUGAR and SWEETS...he loves those. If none of the above mentioned foods are being served at any given meal he will simply skip it and wait for the next meal to see if it is any better for him. This is the reason I started giving him pediasure...just to make sure he had some kind of vitamins in him!
Well, Last night I made chicken fajitas for dinner with refried beans. Alec, Adam, myself and Ashley enjoyed our meal immensely. Aaron had a tortilla and mandarin oranges on his plate. Well, since everyone else was having "mini burritos" guess what Aaron wanted? A orange burrito! He took his little pile of mandarin oranges and placed them in the middle of the tortilla. He was trying to roll it up but Daddy ended up stepping in and helping him. As I was watching I was wondering just how many bites into it he would loose interest and I would have to again break out the pediasure drink for him. Believe it or not, HE ATE THE ENTIRE THING!! Seriously?? He won't eat the yummy food, but hey, give him a orange burrito and he is a happy camper! Sigh...
