Tough Love


This week Chad and I decided it was time to get "tough" with regards to Annemarie's eating habits. There is about 10 things she will eat willingly, 6 of them being snack foods. At her one year check up with Dr. Haggerty, we were instructed to give her the same dinner as we were having and if she did not want it then she went to bed hungry. It has been 2 nights and she has gone to bed without dinner both nights. Hopefully she will learn soon. It sucks, but we are going to follow doctors orders.

Yikes. That is tough. Let me know if it works. I may have to try that with Jack. I've never had a child who did not LOVE to eat anything and everything so I don't know what to do!

Oh Annemarie, come to my house and I'll give you chocolate pudding! Just kidding. I think you are doing a great thing buddy.

You'll be glad you did that down the road! (plus, she looks really mistreated and under-fed!) She's a real cutie!
