LOL tricky aren't you That is surely a thing to do Make them thing it is the same And set the new food flame Then if they like They'll want to take the hike Eat both of those as well And grapes by the bag sometimes at my cell
Such a clever lady! MY mother in law use to boil carrots and mash them into the mashed potatoes to get my husband (her son) to eat some veggies. LOL Creative minds!
It's amazing how strong their aversions are! Alex loves food, though, and will eat most everything I make. Spencer and Harry eat the same old thing every day. They will throw up if they even think I'm going to make them taste one bite of something new!
Oh what a smart idea that was....Little by little, piece by piece, and soon they will be eating a bowl of blueberries. I remember when Myk will little he didn't like try new things, but he LOVED carrots, so one day I put asparagus on his plate, and he said "What's this" I said oh those are green carrots. And he ate them. HaHa..Mother's do what they have to do....
Hmm... seems to be Mission Accomplished... to me. Although it was achieved in a magical mother's manner. Watch your back, they may sneak some appetizing find from the outdoors on to your plate/bowl. Ha!!!
Hi Betsy .. glad it's working - ringing the changes for them, must be challenging ... if one eats - do the others? I like Christine's comment ... cheers Hilary
Ha! Cute idea. I'll have to try this with my little one when she is old enough to be a picky eater. Crazy kids and their food preferences! Thanks for stopping by my blog so that I could discover yours.
Has anybody told you today, that you are a smart cookie?
ReplyDeleteWell....Betsy....you are some smart cookie...

The rest of us have been snacking on blueberries, too~ they have been so sweet!
Deleteooo nice try mom...just wait til they figure it out...smiles...
ReplyDeleteyep...they might..I'm actually surprised they're eating them! ha.
DeleteThey're round, they're yummy. "I think we'll just go with it!" Very clever :)
ReplyDeletealmost the same color... I hope they never figure it out! ha.
DeleteI planted 8 blueberry bushes this year so in a few years son we can go out there and eat to our hearts content! We love them! Can't wait!
Deletethat's a great idea~ I tried one once and it didn't thrive. I really should try again..nothing like picking fruit out of your own yard!
DeleteOh that is one clever move Betsy! Do they gag on foods they don't like?
ReplyDeletethey gag just at the thought of tasting something new!
DeleteSuch a clever lady! MY mother in law use to boil carrots and mash them into the mashed potatoes to get my husband (her son) to eat some veggies. LOL Creative minds!
ReplyDeletehaha...I've heard that one....or a pureed can of veggie soup into meatloaf. I guess you have to be creative it they won't eat!
DeleteGood for you! I have tried new foods with autism students and it is SO HARD! Kudos to you Betsy for all of your efforts with your boys!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how strong their aversions are! Alex loves food, though, and will eat most everything I make. Spencer and Harry eat the same old thing every day. They will throw up if they even think I'm going to make them taste one bite of something new!

ReplyDeleteoh now that is just so funny! hahaha...what a cute story!
DeleteSneaky really is your middle name!! Blueberries are my favorite. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteI try! haha...oh, I love blueberries, too and they have been SO good this season!
DeleteHmm... seems to be Mission Accomplished... to me. Although it was achieved in a magical mother's manner. Watch your back, they may sneak some appetizing find from the outdoors on to your plate/bowl. Ha!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot bring myself to eat green peas. Yuck!!!
no peas? Did your mother hide them in other things? :)
DeleteHaha! Well done!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm thinking what else I could do that with!
DeleteMoms do what moms gotta do! :)
ReplyDeleteHave you checked the silverware drawer?
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about the peas.
HA! Oh now, if there are blueberries in the silverware drawer, those boys are really outsmarted me! hahahaha.
DeleteWhat a great idea. I'm glad it's working.
ReplyDeleteso far so good! :)
DeleteHi Betsy .. glad it's working - ringing the changes for them, must be challenging ... if one eats - do the others? I like Christine's comment ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeletePulling out the whole blueberry to grape trick. Glad it's working. I love blueberries, hopefully they'll like them too.
ReplyDeleteI know! What's not to like? I hope they continue eating them even if they discover they aren't grapes!
DeleteI had to really really look to see what these impostors were!! Well done you!! I see them now!! Yay!! Take care
ReplyDeletex
haha..you did? Well, you better makes sure nobody is hiding food in your food! lol.....
DeleteI should try that with my husband! (o:
ReplyDeleteHa! I love this!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny.;) Honestly, I rather prefer blueberries to grapes, so perhaps they will too one day.;))
ReplyDeletexoxo
