Monster munch

Calling all Parents of small people can I have a show of hands who’s kids will eat absolutely everything they are given? The odds are there’s not many of you with hands in the air right now.

I have one child who is a little monster and will eat fuck all and one who who munches everything in sight! They couldn’t be more black and white seriously I don’t know how they managed to be so different.

My Rex is the worst eater on the planet! I could name the things he eats on 1 hand. I’ve never known a kid so fussy but not even that he’d be happy to eat the same thing every single day, he’s a boy of Habbit and routine and that’s what I love about him because im like that to. But my god you’d think he’d get sick of fish fingers ans potato waffles 3 times a week but alas he’s in his element with a potato waffle. School lunches are a constant battle because he won’t touch hot school dinners… so packed lunch it is! And you guessed it it’s pretty much the same thing day in day out, I might switch the fruit up some days to give him abit more variety but that’s it. Cream crackers and cheese, frubes, wotsits, banana, orange, and a KitKat. Every single bloody day. But hey he’s eating that’s the main thing. we do have to be super careful what Rex actually eats because he’s got a problem with his stomach which makes him sick ALOT. We can’t go out to restaurants without taking cloths and sick bags, we’re not to sure yet what the problem actually is until he sees a children’s doctor later in the year but I really hope we get to the bottom of the problem. Untill then it’s fish finger galore and frubes for dessert every night.

Now where do I even start with the human hoover that is my daughter. God forbid we should leave something on our plates. She’s there as quick as a flash to polish off anything left behind she’d easily eat all her dinner plus finish off everyone else’s. She’s a little over 18 months and I’ve yet to find a food she doesn’t like. Marmite is big hit, she polishes brussel sprouts off like they are going out of fashion and don’t even get my started on her favorite food bananas! She’d eat a whole bunch of you’d let her, the excitement on her face when you ask her if she wants a banana is hillarious it’s like she’s won the banana lottery!! Id pay to see her tackle a steak! She doesn’t half put her food away and isn’t fussy one bit! Go on gal !! and I was worried she’d be missing out because she’s got a dairy allergy, although just recently she’s been trying bits of dairy here and there and touch wood she’s been alright so who knows she might be growing out of the allergy. Imagine all the new foods she can eat if that’s the case! The possibilities are endless for my little monster munch the world will be her oyster and she’s probably eat one of those to!

So for now it’s cooking seperate dinners for everyone until we can all actually agree and sit and eat the same dam thing. That day will be a good day!
