Then he got sick and of course he didnt want anything to do with food. He would pick at some of his favorites and maybe eat but he really had this love hate realtionship with food.
Well after calling the doctors office like 80 times in 3 weeks I finally got them to give me an appointment and see my son. My main concern had been that he was not eating but he was also constipated and they didnt seem to see it as an urgent matter.
So we are at the doctors and they needed to check him from behind - NOT IDEAL! He was clogged so badly that the doctor got mad that I had not been able to get an appointment sooner. So he gave us some stole softner and 2 days later he is pooping and eating. BUT he only wants to eat dino nuggets, scrambled eggs,veggie fires, graham crackers, cheetos and french fries!
OMG he is a nut the french fries we realized last Saturday after the dr. apt we picked up some food and there were fries and thats what he wanted. Then we went to Ralphs grocery shopping and he screamed till we gave him the cheetos -I kid you not he will drive me to loose my mind. Should I just let him and try to introduce some other foods as we go? He used to eat carrots, brocoli, sweet potatoe and rice, pasta I mean he didnt see a food he didnt like. But after three weeks of being sick, getting 8 or more new teeth and being full of crap I dont know what to do.
But aside from not wanting to eat fruits and veggies and not wanting to really eat anything then what he deemd a suitable food pyramid I realized that I am the mom and I need to stand my ground. I dont think I should punish him but I do believe that I need to set boundaries and get him to know that I am the boss and I am going to rule this kingdom regardless.
So not how do I go about this with out fighting on a daily basis and with out losing my mind and cooking all day?
