We've had those kids in our family that simply won't eat if they have to eat anything but maybe one thing.. and we've had those that want to throw a fit because they don't like something "today"!

In general I don't make a special meal for each child, however, if I KNOW the kids have tried a food and truly don't like it, I will try to find an alternative to work with everything else we have on the Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18284741556623379589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265235344993278263.post-80224292306558283232011-08-29T18:25:53.240-04:002011-08-29T18:25:53.240-04:00You have to try a bite in our house but don't ...You have to try a bite in our house but don't have to eat it if you don't like it.
