PJ is a "pretty good" eater. At least, when he's hungry and when he's being given something he likes. I know "our" kids can be picky eaters, and stubborn, so I guess I should be happy there is more than one thing he will eat for dinner.
Currently his favorite food is chicken nuggets. (Tyson) He will also eat a grilled cheese sandwich, pizza, french fries, and spaghetti. He likes broccoli, and raw carrot sticks with ranch dressing, but not many other vege's. He LOVES ice cream. He loves pretzel sticks. He'll eat corned beef hash and eggs, if I smother it with ketchup.
He HATES rice of any kind, beans of any kind, and macaroni and cheese. Really? Yes, really. for breakfast it's either a smoothie, fresh fruit (he loves fruit) and pretzel sticks, or pancakes.
He goes through periods of liking something, and then all of a sudden, doesn't ever want to see it again. He's at this point with oatmeal, and mini ravioli.
I would love to know about your kids, their likes and dislikes, and how you get around it.

Hi there (a year later) I'm coming back!
Well, Im back, or going to TRY to be. Sorry for the hiatus, no excuses, just wanted to "be alone", if you know what I mean.
Here's where we are today: PJ had tonsils and majority of adenoids removed about 3 weeks ago. The recovery was bad. Up most nights, trying to stay ahead of the pain, worried about him dehydrating. But as bad as it was, I've heard of much worse, like kids going to hospital for IV fluids, so, thankfully, it wasn't all THAT bad for us. He's recovered quite well now, getting over the narcotics dependency quickly, and no longer needing even Motrin. He's sleeping beautifully, laying down all night, not having apnea episodes at all that I've been able to detect, so it was worth it. Hopefully we'll see after school restarts if he continues to get sick every week. I sure hope not.
He made it thru his first year of preschool, with flying colors. He's jabbering all the time, knows many many words, although they are still not very clear. He knows many signs. Not enough to converse with, but still they help to convey some basic wants, or ideas.
Rebecca is fabulous, she was accepted into our county's early college high school in the health science area. School starts August 8th for her, she's very excited, and we are all very very very proud of her.
Everything else is as it has been, Daniel still has his full time job, and we are squeaking by. I am still unemployed and trying to learn how to be a big time couponer. We'll see how I do.
Anyway, glad to be back. :o)
