Ethan doesn't really eat. I guess I've been trying to not notice, but while he was sick he really ate only a handful of bites a day. Now that he's improving, we decided to set some dinner time rules. First is one we've had all along. You don't have to like what's for dinner, but your only other option is PB&J. Second is the big one. Dinner time means you have to sit at the table. No playing with toys, no running around the house, no distractions. Ethan chose time-out rather than the table three times tonight. And didn't eat a single bite of dinner. I think I'm not going to give him his sippy cup tomorrow to make sure he can't fill up on milk. We're going to get this boy to eat if it kill us.

cuz i'm sure you care... our rules
1. you can eat what we serve, or go hungry
2. you eat at the table
3. you have to try one bite of everything
4. if you decide you don't want to eat anything, you immediately go to bed, no dessert
5. if you finish everything on your plate, you get dessert
honestly, abbie used to be the pickiest eater. we did a number of things... cut out all sippy cups (would you believe that miles at 20 months stopped using a sippy cup about 4 months ago)... we use straws and big kid cups. we clean up more spills, but they also eat more.
if they want something to drink and it isn't mealtime, they get water.
our kids have gone from picky eater to eating ANYTHING. i highly recommend it.
