We solved the dessert problem by not having any! It's now a special occasion thing, like if we have gone out to dinner. Seems to work well because no matter how full Danielle said she was at dinner time she always seemed to have room for dessert. I never make her eat everything on her plate. Sometimes she eats nothing and it doesn't bother her that she will get nothing else to eat until breakfast.

Mummytummy, I was the same as a child, I hated all fruits and veg, I wasn't trying to annoy my parents, I really just did not like them. I used to be made to sit at the table until I ate them. Did nothing for me because I still don't like them, I've just leart to tolerate them.

A funny story, we were at a BBQ the other day and I had brought Ashlyn some cucumber and carrots. You should have seen people's faces when Ashlyn started munching away. At first there was some shock (and I think panic) and after they watched for a little bit they started offering her all sorts of food. It was really funny.
