Elena has turned out to be our picky eater. She puts every inedible object imaginable in her mouth. She eats dirt and flowers from the garden, rocks, caterpillars, and sand from the sand box on a regular basis. However, mealtime is a daily struggle. We have tried coaxing, making it a game, bribing with fruit or dessert, and even re-offering dinner for breakfast when she has not eaten. She has learned to take fake bites to fool us into thinking she is eating. Oh well. She somehow manages to eat enough to chase her brother around all day, although it is hard to imagine how. It must be the caterpillars...Tuesday, July 15, 2008
