Annie Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have had to say the phrase, "This is your last piece of celery for today." The child will completely fill himself up and only get 25 calories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icollectkids Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have one that would rather have a carrot, freeze dried peas or celery over a banana. The freeze dried peas are his favorite. weirdo! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yep. Or order caesar salad for dessert after a meal in a restaurant when everyone else is getting ice cream - yeah that's DS. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My oldest usually snacks on frozen peas (still frozen). yum!!! I agree with your oldest! Nori sheets, straight from the bag. She's Japanese and doesn't know it. ;) My kids do this!!! They love it!!!! My daughter doesn't eat dessert. She just doesn't like sweets. Waiters/waitresses think that's SOOOO odd when we go out! But, I'm the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 One of mine ate a raw onion today and it took the rest of us a while to figure out where the smell was coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icollectkids Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 One of mine ate a raw onion today and it took the rest of us a while to figure out where the smell was coming from. I have 2 that do that. They steal slices off my cutting board when I turn my back making dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icollectkids Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My dh has been teaching the kids about edible wild plants. My not quite 2yo can identify one if you ask her where it is. My kids will make a 'salad' from these plants and add a little oil/vinegar and munch on that as a snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBMama Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My kids love broccoli! Last night my 5 year old asked for a snack before bed. She made herself a big plateful of lettuce (no dressing) and ate almost all of it. Crazy kids! I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hilarious stories:) The other day I made an apple pie for a departmental function for hubby...dd4 refuses to eat apples, but apparently she LOVES the apple peels if there is not too much actual apple on it! I think she ate the peels of roughly 6 apples😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivey Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hilarious stories:) The other day I made an apple pie for a departmental function for hubby...dd4 refuses to eat apples, but apparently she LOVES the apple peels if there is not too much actual apple on it! I think she ate the peels of roughly 6 apples😳 My older boys used to fight over the peels when I peeled apples for the younger ones. :) We have a corner store on our street, and I've always let the boys walk there on Friday afternoons to get a treat, which usually ends up being chips, candy or a chocolate bar. One week, when the older three were about 5, 7 and 9, they came running back to the house, super excited that the store had mangos! They pooled their money and bought a bunch of mangos and a bag of Doritos to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerileanne99 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Oh, and last week I got a strange email from dd''s play-based preschool where she attends 6 hours per week: Apparently it is 'very strange' that dd refused to eat the special treat doughnuts the other kids got...but she was perfectly fine with the container of raspberries in her bag:) Funnily enough, when we are on vacation we always go for doughnuts as a family. But only that one time, on vacation. I guess dd did not consider it a doughnut-worthy occasion:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Mine would happily live off a raw veggie tray if I let them. Ds5 likes raw veggies over cooked any day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba12 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Oh, I wish I could convince her to eat 'normal' raw foods like carrot/celery/beans/cucumber. It would be so much easier for me! Instead she wants to munch on broccoli, cherry tomatoes (they eat these like grapes), capsicum (bell pepper for americans), bok choy stalk, onion, etc...

73349 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yup, he was helping me make dinner last night and talked me into giving him a "zample" of each veggie raw. (Why he does that with that S, I don't know.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom@shiloh Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yep. I have a few of those. Offer them a cookie and they'll ask for vegies or fruit instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 One of DD's earliest words was bocci (broccoli) long before she was two. She could smell it cooking and scream out the word, toddling full tilt into the kitchen. I would placate her with a raw one while she waited for the cooked ones. And salads for snack after school...far more popular than sweets, etc. DS...not so much. :( Love the stories here... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My 3 yo. asks for carrots at least once a day. I suspect it's mostly an excuse to eat ranch dressing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
