Food Glorious Food

Nia is a week away from 20 months, 4 away from 2 years old. WOW.

All the time I hear about kids that are finicky eaters, or refuse to eat their vegetables. I have to say, we don't have that problem. Nia loves pretty much everything. Sweet, sour, spicy nothing seems off limits. She eats Thia, Indian, you name it. She will suck on a lemon, just like her sister. Loves the family of pickles and cucumbers. Loves prunes and raisins. Rice and beans. Her favorite things are apples, berries, grapes, broccoli (hot or cold), carrots, celery and tomatoes. You put a salad in front of her with light Italian dressing and she will eat that up like candy. She also loves to dip. Fries in ketchup, carrots in Ranch, random things. Nia is in no way a vegetarian though. She loves her chicken, turkey and steak. No matter what we make, she will at least try it. I love when she goes to the refrigerator, opens it and then takes out what she wants then gives it to me to put in a bowl or plate for her. Her new favorite thing is fruit shakes. We take ice, mixed berries, bananas, pineapple juice and a dash of honey and mix it in the Magic Bullet. Hopefully she keeps up this open minded approach to eating.
