25th Percentile for Weight

My two-year-old, however, was not impressed. He slowly lifted his fork to his mouth, tasted his noodles and promptly let them fall off his tongue and back into his bowl. He then looked at me as if to say, "Nice try. Where is the cake?"

Charlie hates fruit snacks.
He will eat: chicken nuggets, applesauce, cheese quesadillas, hummus, apple slices (I have to take the peel off or he'll spit it everywhere, even though he really wants me to give him the whole apple and let him roam the house spitting bits of peel everywhere.) He loves brown rice.. my fake fried rice. He'll eat chicken, chili, hamburger, ham and scrambled eggs, pancakes, yogurt..
and of course cookies.... the boy loves cookies like his mom loves... well cookies too.

I guess he's a pretty good eater. I've heard you have to introduce a food 10 times before a kid will like it. Apparently Mother Teresa fed a lot of children, because I know I don't have the patience to throw food away 10 times before he'll eat it.

10 times? Not on our planet. More like...100, and that is just to get him to put it to his lips, rather than just touch it and eye it with disgust. Kid doesn't like PASTA! What is WRONG with my child? At least he likes chocolate.

Kids are so weird sometimes. I have a 3 year old who very often only wants to eat chips (of any sort, really), and a 5 year old who loves fruit. More than anything. The kid is addicted to fruit, which is certainly better than his younger brother being addicted to chips.
