Ooooh Oskar has decided that most nights he looks at his dinner and says... but I don't like that .lol.... without trying it! I make him try it and remind him that he does like it (well at least he did the last time lol). Tonight I made a mince thing with vegies and pasta but he said but I didn't want meat on my pasta *sighs* lol. I didn't have any spare pasta though haha. He tried a few bits and then I gave him the option of a honey sandwich or banana - he chose banana. The only reason I have offered something else is that the times I have said too bad and he's only half heartedly eaten is that he's not eaten enough and then has been so hungry going to bed that he can't get to sleep. I have also found that some of this depends on if he's tired.

Another thing which sometimes helps is if I ask him in the morning what he might like to have for dinner and if he chooses then he seems to eat it more.

I remember my parents forcing me to eat stuff I really didn't like... that was awful, I don't have fond memories of that at all. I won't fight but I will encourage and as long as he genuinely tries it then that's ok.
