I may or may not have mentioned here that my son is a picky eater.
For being a "picky" eater he actually eats healthier than any of the rest of our household because of his love for smoothies. Momma makes sure plenty of veggies get hidden in those! And, he picks them himself!
Today, however, is such a good example of his picky behavior that I can't resist sharing.
He loves WAFFLES.
But not just any waffle will do.
If I am not making Hungry Jack waffles fresh in my waffle iron, then they must meet the following requirements:
1. Store brand, Eggo, you name it: doesn't matter. BUT you better not try to offer him any of those Buttermilk or "Plain" ones. Because. YUCK. He'll tell you they aren't waffles.
2. Strawberry or blueberry is currently where it is at. Again, don't test him on this, anything else is not really waffles.
3. Lightly toast his waffles, don't make them too dark or too crunchy. He won't touch it.
4. Add butter. Only a LITTLE bit, and it better be completely melted by the time you set it in front of him. SERIOUSLY.
5. NO syrup. Not even a drop. He is more likely to throw them at you, than eat them, if there is syrup.
6. Cut into nice easy-to-pick-up-with-a-fork bites. Some days he may decline a utensil and use his hands but you run the risk of him not wanting to eat if you don't offer him one.
7. Be ready to make another waffle when his is almost done. Having to wait more tends to leave him uninterested in your efforts to make him more.
He is cute so he gets away with his demands.
