Yesterday(Tuesday 21st) I fed Samuel his dinner at 1830. His favorite food is mac and cheese. He has not yet taken to eating vegetables. So we had the idea of buying macaroni made of vegetables. Good idea, right? Well, for the first time Samuel refused to eat his mac and cheese. Half of the macaroni is green shaded not the normal yellow color. He refused to eat any of the green macaroni. If he was able to separate the yellow macaroni from the green he would eat it but the green macaroni never got close to his mouth. I also gave him a vegetable medley(peas, green beans carrots, potatoes) in addition to the mac and cheese. The good news is that he picked the carrots out of the vegetables and ate those. A light finally came on and we thought lets buy vegetables that aren't green and see if he will eat non-green vegetables. So we will be going to the fruitier to buy whatever non-green vegetables they have in stock in the hope that Samuel will eat them. Anyone have any advice as to how to break a toddler of a green food phobia?
The evening was better. Julia had gone shopping earlier in the day and bought two slices of chateaubriand. So I was outside grilling the meat and corn on the cob when the moon rose over the river and shone through the cherry trees in our backyard. Very beautiful, serene and calming. The memories of the fight over dinner quickly faded into the grey recesses of my mind.
