Sami and Eating

We have come to the place where we have realized that we really need to decrease the stress at our dinner table. So, we're going to give Sami one serving of everything and then not give her another serving when she's done unless she's eaten her vegetables. We both know that means she will likely not eat them, but we're going to stop fighting her on it. I know little kids tastes change and there are lots of things she does eat. It's just vegetables, mainly, that she won't. So, we're going to save up for a Vita-Mix and add vegetable/fruit smoothies to our diets. I think that will be a good thing =) It will get her the nutrients she needs and make life less stressful for us!

I hope that works for you. All of you. We've had the same struggles with our Sami and came to the same decision. She is getting better...usually. For a while I allowed her to have one cup of V8 VFusion juice a day. I don't need it quite as much now, but it did make feel better on those days that she didn't eat any veggies. Hang in there.
