My boys are now full on eating solids. They have been quite adventurous - trying all food that has been put in front of them and up until now loving everything from broccoli to salmon to quesadillas. I have had visions of them becoming foodies and have to admit, have gotten a little cocky when I read about picky eaters thinking 'MY boys eat everything... feedings are a breeze.' But as a fellow twin mom told me the other night 'the second you get cocky about something, it all changes and blows up in your face'. Which is so true (i.e I think proceeded to tell her that my boys have never projectile vomitted when - lo and behond - the next morning Wyatt threw up all over my husband).
So... my boys are now becoming picky eaters. And the amount of food we are wasting is ridiculous. My grocery bill has recently doubled yet half of the food goes on the floor. I will put food on their high chair trays and immediately it gets pushed around and flies to the floor - much to the dogs delight. The only things I know for sure that they will eat are:
1. Avocadoes
2. Cheese (but only string cheese)
3. Raspberries (not strawberries. just raspberries)
And I swear, I'm getting so sick of cleaning up the high chairs and floor under the high chairs 5 times a day. Seriously, can't they make a self-cleaning high chair already?
Somedays I really miss the 'simplicity' of breastfeeding. Though I know that that came with it's own difficulties...
