Picky Eater

     Connor is in the process of getting his two year molars, and it has been a pain. We have had little sleep and been dealing with an extremely clingy two year old for the last week. He has had a fever everyday and been pretty miserable, until today! He is finally starting to feel better and this momma is so happy!
 Not feeling well :(

 Wrapping his little arms around my leg.
     Since he was finally feeling better today, I decided to change things up and make him a different kind lunch. He is a really picky eater and doesn't like to eat his veggies like a good little boy, so I searched Pinterest for ideas. I decided to make things fun and fill a muffin tray with a variety of yummy and healthy foods.
     I really hoped that the different colors and textures would appeal to him and he would really like it. It was quite a bit of food, so I knew he wasn't going to eat everything, but my goal was for him to try everything. With a little bit of pushing, I was able to get him to try everything at least once! 
     He was so excited when I placed the tray in front of him. He looked at all the different foods and went straight for the cheese, his favorite! He ate the entire cheese section before trying anything else. Haha.
 The many looks of concentration.
     I plan on making him another lunch like this tomorrow. I am really hoping that he will become used to eating a variety of healthy foods and learn to enjoy them instead of spitting them out.
The one thing he isn't picky about is dessert!
