Cooper hates olives!

Like really, they make him gag, but tonight he ate a piece (a really little piece) of one.

My Boys are picky eaters, 

like only meat cheese and bread picky.  

We hate it!!

So we figured Cooper is old enough to try new things.  

So every night for dinner he HAS TO try something 

fruit/vegetable/NEW.  

Only once have we had to "make him eat it for his next meal"  

It was a mandarin orange, 

and when we pulled it out the next morning before he could eat his breakfast, 

he decided we were serious.

And it is working.  

He even tried pickled beet at the babysitters just because it was on his plate. 

The battles are shorter 

and sometimes he even says he likes it, 

although he has never continued eating after the required "try".  

But here's to hopin'.

Things tried so far:

Peas

Grapes

Pickled Beets

Broccoli (raw)

Blueberry

Mandarin Oranges

Olive

Apple

Corn

He likes to dip these in Balsamic Vinagrette

Lettuce (Romaine,Leaf, Spring Mix.)

Cucumber

Spinach (Fresh)

Tomato

Bell Pepper

Sweet Peppers

What a Stud RIGHT?
