We have found that if we give J all of his food choices on his plate at one time he will typically only eat one of the items. He prefers vegetables over meat in most cases, and anything fried over anything not. French fries would have to be in his top 10 favorite foods. We have started trying to give him the "good" stuff first. For example, tonight I only put his green beans on his plate rather than filling his plate. He ate every single green bean and asked for more. Sunday after church we went to Five Guys. I gave him a portion of my hamburger which he ate like a champ. We made it a point to keep all of the french fries hidden away in the bag until he was finished eating. That worked up until a guy at a nearby table poured a huge pile of fries out of his brown paper bag. J promptly put down his hamburger, pointed at our brown paper bag, and grunted. We both knew exactly what he wanted. He is too smart...
And this is how it turned out...
