Our little vegetarian

Ethan doesn't eat meat. Not for our lack of trying, but he just doesn't like it. We try to sneak it in, but he catches it, spitting out the meat, and eating everything else. We've even tried fun things like chicken nuggets and fish sticks. But no, no meat. The only way he ever eats any is in ravioli. Gerber makes these ravioli with pureed meat and vegetables inside. He like the pasta so much, he barely chews them as he shoves them into his mouth. So we give him those ravioli a few times a week to get some real protien into him.

The boy is definiatly not a vegan. He would live on dairy foods if we let him. It takes a concious effort on our part to make sure we hide the sippy cup a few times a day so that he isn't always full of milk. And Ethan feels that yogurt and cheese are necessary in a daily diet.

Our boy is crazy. But so are we, so we love him anyway.
