Food Frustrations!!

Ok.. I give up!!! Kylie is the pickiest eater EVER!! I don't know how she got this way. She started out breastfed, introduced solid foods just like I was suppose to, She ate great as a baby.... but somewhere in Toddlerhood something went wrong!!!! She can't even stand the sight of most foods... she's 6 1/2 yrs old and you'd swear she was 2 yrs old throwing a tantrum at the dinner table.

Hates:
ANYTHING green, even green candy!
ALL vegetables exept corn
ALL fruits except apples and occassionally she'll eat a bananna or frozen purple grapes
ALL berries
ALL juices except apple... wont even drink an Apple blend.
MOST cheeses.. occassionally she'll eat a piece of string cheese
Peanut Butter
Jelly-any flavor
mashed potatos, french fries, baked potatos, tater tots.. will eat McCain's Smiles, Waffle fries and potato wedges from KFC
baked beans
mustard
mayo
fish
salad dressing ( although she doesn't eat anything that you would put it on anyways!)
pasta-any pasta.. but will occassionally eat a few bites of mac and cheese ( white cheddar only)
anything "minty"
anything "spicy"
anything that is more than 1 color, more than 1 texture or more than 1 food.

Will Eat:
nutella ( gross!!!)
bread ( as long as it doesnt have grainy things in it)
chicken - baked, fried, nuggets, breasts, legs
turkey- white meat only
ground beef -plain ( when we eat tacos or sloppy joes i have to save her some before i add the spices)
steak ( LOVES steak)
pork - pork chops
ketchup
rice cakes ( cheddar only)
grahm crackers
oreos
chocolate
vanilla icecream ( no toppings)
hard salami
bologna
hotdogs ( usually cold... GROSS)
butter
LOTS of milk
cereal - cheerios, kix, rice krispies
beef jerky -- or pretty much any other kid of smoked meat

Thats about it.... and i REALLy had to think about it to get that long of a list.....it really makes having a picnic a PITA...

Plus because her diet.. well it sucks.. I can't think of a better word LOL .. she gets constipated and has to take milk of magnesia every couple of days.

For the record, Chase is a WONDERFUL eater.. he'll eat pretty much anything except Lettuce or Onions.. he was a picky eater but grew out of it by the time he was 5.. but he was NEVER as bad as his sister.

Yesterday while at the store we were talking about how she has to eat better or she's going to get sick and her brother talked her into getting Orange Juice... so I bought the kid kind, ya know the kind with all the extra vitamins in it.. she said she was going to drink it. This morning with her cereal i poured her a small glass ( really small) of OJ and she dipped her finger in it and tasted it and made a horrible face and proceeded to try to get me to drink it for her LOL. She mentioned she wanted ice cream... well I dont normally give her ice cream for breakfast ( nice try thouh LOL).. but i told her that if she drank all the OJ she COULD have ice cream.. i fully expected her to throw her usual temper tantrum and end up spilling her drink and her running to her room screaming about how i hate her because i want her to drink orange juice ( yeah, thats how it usually goes) ... but instead she asked for a straw and took another drink.. and made a face and said she couldnt do it. So i told her DONT DO IT.. I dont want you to have ice cream anyways.. I want it ALL for me!!! And I told her that she should dump it out that it was horrible and that I didnt want to share my ice cream. She wouldnt let me!!! She ended up drinking the OJ, it took her over an hor to drink what was probably only 3 ounces of OJ if that! But she did it! I told her grandma that she drank OJ for the first time today and grandma asked how it was and kylie said " ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! "

It's a BOY!!!!!

Our first Cria (baby alpaca) was born last sunday June 1st and it was a beautiful boy!! Here's some pictures from his first day... we haven't named him yet.
We also got a Guardian Livestock puppy yesterday. She's a great Pyrenees/Maremma and she sure is a cutie, it's gonna be hard to not spoil her rotten. I'll post pics of her as soon as i take some...Oh, her name is Angel.
