Our daughter, the selective eater, made history the other week.\u00a0\u00a0She ate\u00a0sausage for the first time and enjoyed it.\u00a0 This was a big deal for a chipmunk – I\u00a0 mean a\u00a0child\u00a0–\u00a0who\u00a0was notorious for holding hard-to-chew foods in her mouth.\u00a0 I almost cried tears of joy as she whisked one piece after another off mommy’s plate, in addition to\u00a0a handful of sweet potato\u00a0wedges\u00a0and broccoli.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it funny how a sausage, and simple moments like\u00a0this, can make your day as a mom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it was time to decide on the meal for the following night,\u00a0of course\u00a0<\/em>I prepared our favourite Rowe Farm<\/a> sausages.\u00a0 My husband and I\u00a0naively sat at the table expecting a repeat from the previous evening.\u00a0\u00a0I knew better, but remained optimistic.\u00a0\u00a0We anxiously watched Sienna fiddle with her fork while\u00a0anticipating\u00a0‘the moment’.\u00a0\u00a0 When she didn’t make the move for the sausage, my husband gave her a little nudge saying: “Look! It’s the same sausage you loved last night. Want a bite?<\/em>“.\u00a0\u00a0 (TIP<\/strong>:\u00a0 Don’t follow our footsteps here.\u00a0 It is best not to say anything.\u00a0 Statements like this\u00a0can be interpreted as a form of ‘pressure’ and the result will be resistance).\u00a0\u00a0 So I was not surprised to hear her answer – a heartfelt “NO”.<\/p>\n

Just when I thought her love\u00a0for sausage had\u00a0died, last night it made a comeback when Sienna chowed down on\u00a0one\u00a0for dinner.\u00a0 And she found a new love –\u00a0\u00a0corn on the cob (organic of course).\u00a0\u00a0 Whether she will love it tomorrow, who knows?<\/p>\n

We’ve played this game before\u00a0with a whole host of foods:\u00a0 smoothie popsicles, chia pudding, blueberries, tomatoes, even the beloved pasta.\u00a0\u00a0Our little ones\u00a0know how to keep us on our toes with their fickleness. \u00a0Try not to overanalyze their reaction\u00a0or show your frustration.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This fickleness is simply a part of toddlerhood.\u00a0 Just remove all expectations (the good and the bad) and go with the<\/del> their flow.\u00a0 Hey, at least our little ones keep things interesting!<\/p>\n
