More on What’s for Dinner
Terri:
We have fraternal twins and interestingly our daughter is very willing to try a new food while our son is the exact opposite. We usually just present a new food to her making a big deal how yummy it is and she will try it. She is very interested in whatever we are eating (we usually eat after them) and she will often try new things off our plates. Our son, will immediately say “no” to anything you present to him – sometimes later (on his own terms) he will give something a try. Both of their favorite food is link sausage. It never fails – if we cannot get them to eat anything else – they will eat “sasag” as they call it. Not the healthiest food, but as many with two year olds know – sometimes you are just happy that they are eating, period. They also both love all kinds of fresh fruit including bananas, apples, grapes, strawberries, oranges, and pears. Unfortunately, neither one likes milk or yogurt, so we give them calcium supplements. Like most two year olds – ours are always on the go and are not interested in sitting very long to eat. We usually have fruit and other snacks or food left from mealtime on their little table so they can eat as they want through the day.
