My older son, Kekai, will eat almost anything. During my first pregnancy, I actually ate pretty much everything and (tmi, sorry) threw it all up to. Morning sickness from beginning to end.
My second pregnancy, I was very picky about what I ate, mostly veggies and probably too many carbs, nothing reactive. It didn't matter, I threw it up anyway. Yet, Kamalu hates veggies :( ugh!
He ate them in his baby food, but as he transitioned to other foods, he started eliminating the veggies and only ate the carbs and protein.
I didn't think it was to much of a problem, and hoped he would learn to like them, but he still fights me on it.
Actually, my brother was the same way, and now that he's older, he finally eats his veggies. I think in high school he finally realized they weren't so bad.
I sneak pureed veggies in as many dishes as I can, but I still wish my younger son would just eat them. Fruit he will eat, but fingers crossed, he starts to like veggies on his own soon.
I will keep serving it to him, and teach him everyday how important they are, but ultimately, it really has to be his choice. This is where parenting verses stubborn child gets a little complicated. I can compromise for now, as I know he's still eating them (the veggies he can't see), but I would be happier if he ate more.
My nephews are awesome little veggie herbivores ;) and so cute and healthy to. I love every chance I get, to tell Kamalu, "Your cousins are eating their veggies!" I wonder if they will help convince him.
Alright, I get a short break, as the kids are enjoying a day of learning at school, I can squeeze in a workout and have my own veggie, fruit, and protein smoothie! Yum!
Happy Thursday <3
Love and Aloha,
