We put “try a new food” on Owen’s chore chart this week. He tried:
- avocado
- ham and cheese sandwich
- cotton candy
- popcorn chicken
- spaghetti with butter
The two days he missed were the only two “holes” on his chart for the week.
The only one he really truly liked was the popcorn chicken. He came back for more, then asked for it at breakfast the next morning (we had a few as leftovers —a mom had brought them to pool playgroup). He said he liked the spaghetti (it was fun to eat) but he refused a second bite. The others were definite NOs. But he’s so frustratingly finicky that he flat out refused to try chicken fingers—even though I said they tasted exactly like the popcorn chicken.
