Feeding Growing kids is one thing, but trying to introduce new food to them is like cutting off a limb. I started feeding my kids different types of food as soon as I could, because I really didn't want to make a rod for my own back later. The way you've introduced the foods above is excellent. My boys could take a leaf or two out of your book. ;) Thank you. http://www.baby-ads.com

I feel sorry for the kids of parents with poor reading comprehension skills. THIS slide is NOT the "healthier" meal. THIS slide represents the meal in need of a makeover. Actually, my 3 year old kidlet would prefer the third alternative, she prefers salads and won't touch potatoes (or most other starches, including bread). And no fried foods. I hope this trend continues...(crossing fingers)
