Opposites

Derek and I marvel all the time about how different our kids are from each other. When it comes to food, they can both be really picky. However, Jadon loves his veggies. He blows us away with the veggies that seem to be his favorites- carrots (both raw and cooked), broccolli, lima beans, and the other day he had brussel sprouts for the first time, which he ate just fine, although I dont think they would be qualified as one of his favorites. He also eats peas really well. Corn and green beans he eats also, although sometimes it takes a little encouragement on his parents part. He loves lettuce, and will eat it plain too. Potatoes he likes...actually, he reeeeeally likes mashed potatoes. For dinner a few nights ago, we had mashed potatoes, and he had 2nds, and then 3rds, and then wanted 4ths but we cut him off after 3rds.

Avery, on the other hand, will only eat a very select few vegetables.... and even with those, its hit or miss. She will eat corn, peas, mashed potatoes and lima beans. (Yes, lima beans for her too! Weird kids!) But, like I said, one day she'll eat those veggies, then the next day she wants nothing to do with them.

Strangely, Avery loves pancakes, but wont touch waffles. Jadon is the opposite, he loves waffles, but does not care for pancakes.

As far as fruit goes, Avery will eat any fruit, any time. Jadon used to love all fruits too, but is starting to become selective with the ones he'll eat.

A couple foods they both really love- pickles, and blueberries.
