Food

I have to admit that prior to having E and even when he was little, I had some pretty strong conviction about the type and quality of food that he would be permitted to eat. I managed to go quite a long time controlling and limiting his intake to healthy food. I am embarrassed to admit that I have let myself convictions weakened and my will power slide. I really want to change this. I can fully admit that Emory eats thing I would rather him not because either I am eating it or it is easier at the time. It is increasingly challenging as we break away from pureed food and try to transition to table food. My hubby and I are not junk food junkies by any stretch but we do enjoy some junk. I lean towards salty/crunchy and he leans toward sweet. We do not give Emory candy, except for an occasional bit here or there. He does however eat more processed.salty things that I would prefer so guess what??? I am going to work change it and in the process change my ways as well! There are extensive advice columns out there they discuss how small children model eating patterns after their parents. Makes sense right? No kid comes out of the womb craving a chicken nugget. Now I will no sign myself for failure by saying he will never have junk, it just isn't realistic but I can go as far to say it will be limited to one meal once or twice per week. So today is a new day and back to being the food nazi I used to be!
