She’s also a discriminating eater. I say it in this way so I don’t jinx myself into having a picky eater…. because I refuse to admit we might have a picky child. But I tell you this – she was born this way. She’s been more particular about what she accepted into her mouth since the time I started her on solids. The other day I made a list of all the things she likes for dinner. I sat at the kitchen island while she dictated what she likes… homemade mac and cheese, ham sandwiches, potato soup, chicken, asparagus, and so on. Natalie also wanted to make a list of her own with foods she likes to eat which included everything but the kitchen sink.

Score one for mom! I think you handled that great! I am glad she liked it.
We have a granddaughter who is a picky eater. I’d like to say it got a lot better now that she is a grown up 19 year old…but not really.
I think some kids are super tasters and texture people…and I have read some articles on this. It seems lots of people are that way.
Hang in there momma.
Love, Linda
haha that’s funny. How old is Ains? 5?
Is Ainsley related to her Pop? 🙂

re the picture: Having encountered a similar scene – my kid was getting set up for the next time out the door, the thought being that the shoes would not be lost – as they always were – and that the whole coat and backpack thing could be one smooth motion. Sort of like a ‘to-do list’ only in things not words.
