O-Bar-Cracker Tantrums
If Brodie had his way, all he would eat are Cheerios, cereal bars, and crackers.  He has learned that if he says NO to everything set before him, he'll eventually get what he wants.  I have finally realized that I'm being taken advantage of, and I'm putting an end to it.  I know he'll initially go on a food strike, throw "O-Bar-Cracker" tantrums, but I know he won't starve.   If he gets hungry enough, he'll start eating.  The reason I know this, is in the past week, he ate an Asian stir fry, steamed vegetables and all, as if it was his favorite food.  He ate almost an entire almond butter and strawberry jam sandwich, as his he was starving.  And maybe he was, since both of those times, he wasn't offered any Cheerios or cereal bars as snacks before his meal.  This morning I made dairy free banana pancakes.  Brodie said, "wa" which means waffle, and dumped the entire plate of food upside down on the floor.  That was the end of his breakfast.  He spent the next 10-15 minutes in the playroom.  He didn't get to come back to try eating again, until he nicely said, "eat more."  Brodie's learning his manners, and I'm learning how to be a better Mom.
