Major milestone. This past Monday my twin grandkids (Thomas and Callie) were 5 years old. But this is the big milestone. Thomas announced that he wanted to eat a cheeseburger. Meat has never passed his gums. He said it will make him strong (we think he got it from Batman or Spiderman). He wanted one from Wendy's because they have good food. He ate half of it. Up till now most foods made him gag. He does like good things like strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola bars and of course french fries. His mom freaked out when he came up with a cheeseburger. What could be next?
How cute! 5 year old twins luv it. WOW! Isn't that great he actually TRIED and ate meat. Kids, including my own, are so picky these days I swear. Happy Birthday to your Grandkids I'm sure they are beautiful and fill your heart with joy!!
Here's something to think about--- During my studies on nutrition in college I learned a great deal about kids nutrition. Many parents do not know that from the ages 3-7 kids taste buds are heightened and extremely sensitive. This is why most kids want things plain at those ages. The father plays a very important role in their attitude and consumption of foods. If the father is a picky eater then the kids normally follow his behavior.
