Project 52.2 Motherhod is..... Getting your child to eat!

In the beginning of Jackson's life feeding him was easy. I nursed. So, every two hours he gave me a little cry and off we went. He ate until he was full and I knew he was getting everything he needed through me. But as he got older we started introducing new things based on books, our doctor and of course other parents. He took to most things well, but then again they all had the same texture, so who wouldn't.
Now, at 16 months I find he can be rather picky. Not what I had in mind for my kids!! (lol)
So a few weeks ago I really started to stress about his food. Was he getting enough of everything he needed?? Was there enough variety?? Some may think I'm crazy and I would have to agree.... I was driving myself crazy with these thoughts !
After speaking to other mothers that I respect, I took a hard look at his food. I realized that he liked a bunch of great, healthy foods and his development wasn't lacking. But I also realized we needed to try new things or old things again.
This is when I realized getting your child to eat, you sometimes need to be creative! Like instead of just a grilled cheese sandwich make it a grilled turkey with an avacado spread! Instead of corn bread how about grating zucchini into the mix! And when he's
enjoying his frozen fruit toss in a few green peas.
There are still a few things I can't seem to get him to eat, but I know they will come in time! But I also know its my job as his mommy to keep introducing and being creative!!
