My son's eating hygiene has collapsed. He now only willingly eats edamame, green beans, plain noodles, yoghurt, fruit, cottage cheese. He used to eat many more things. Like, over the last weekend. It's very frustrating.

Edit - Sweet potatoes back on the menu. Fish sticks and chicken nuggets, spaghetti-os (indistinguishable from the food he ate from jars) still off, fruit-and-nut bread still on.

We try hard to subscribe to this theory. The difficulty is when it turns random. Five days ago eating chicken, now hurling it and sobbing when it appears.

The truth of the matter is that he's turning two, emotionally, but lacks the two-year-old communication skills (such as they are).

yeeeeah. that's hard.

are you a computer gamer at all? someone i used to know used to refer to things like this as her children levelling up. right before you finish a level of, say, diablo, you have to do something really super hard. seems appropriate and also geeky. not that that's a bad thing.

Hah. Yeah. Except that for Nico, the moments of leveling up last twice (or more) as long, are much more challenging than they are in general for others, and he handles it with pretty good humor.

They're longer because he's multi-class. That's what the extra chromosomes are for, right?

There's a theory floating around that parenting a 2-year-old is training for parenting a teenager. "Loved it five days ago, now hurls it away and sobs when it appears" is a great description of teens...

Hah. Yeah.

Fortunately the raviolini are being shoveled in right now.

probably tired of chicken. I know I would be. Toddler can not live on chicken alone.....hehehe....

I think when he flings the food off to the side I can hear him loud and clear. Not as verbal as we may prefer and yet gets the message across.
