My Finicky Eater


I am the mother of a finicky eater. Sometimes he eats sometimes he doesn't; more frequently the latter. When he does eat, it is cause for great celebration. You see, Weston is pretty skinny as you know and the doc has him on some supplements to make sure he is getting at least some nutrition, even if the only way to get him to partake of it is by means of milk. It's not about what he likes and dislikes, one day he may eat a banana and the next day he wants nothing to do with them and spits them out of his mouth. I have learned not to cater to him because it's just not worth the extra trouble for him to take one bite and then only drink his milk.
For example, take today's lunch. I made him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with homemade strawberry jelly of course, banana's and frozen peas. Here's before and after pics of todays lunch:

Before


After:

Big difference? nope, he only ate a couple bites and then: "All done"
Any recommendations?
On another note, it was beautiful outside...so we took advantage of this opportunity! Weston had fun pulling his wagon around and Audrey loved sitting outside while mommy read. Too bad the weather won't be lasting :(
