Easy-eating kid makes my day

Posted on Jun 7th 2008 7:00AM by Jacki Donaldson

It's so nice to have a kid who is an easy eater. I know this because I have one kid who is nothing but picky, which makes my easy guy a real gift. I tell you this because I'm proud of Danny's eating efforts. I'm telling him too.

Yesterday, Danny told me exactly what he wanted for lunch: A tuna sandwich, nothing in it, nothing on it, just bread -- whole wheat bread. And cottage cheese (we only have the low-fat stuff). And milk (the two percent variety). So that's what I made him. He gobbled up every healthy bite, even wanted more than his two bowls of cottage cheese. I made him wait, though, just to see if his tummy decided it was full. It did.

Danny is my guy who will eat salmon -- even requested it for his birthday meal last week -- and he'll try anything at least once. Typically, he likes everything he tries. Well, not broccoli, even though he still eats it. What a guy.

Thanks goodness for my easy eater -- who also happens to like chocolate.
