There were times when I was making three meals when dinnertime rolled around. Breakfast was even more of a challenge, but we survived. Today that little boy is an executive chef and he eats a variety of foods, not always the most nutritious, but very, very delicious. As a youngster, we noticed he enjoyed restaurant dining. He could find the most expensive item on the menu, order and enjoy every morsel when it arrived at the table. He now has two children, one is a very good eater. She doesn't have too many dislikes, then there's the other one....a more fussy eater, but following in his Dad's footsteps...he enjoys eating out and especially at Dad's restaurants where he, too, can manage to pick the most expensive item on the menu and enjoy each and every bite...  |
Your son and grandson remind me of my daughter. My ex and I used to have to do a lot of entertaining, and if clients had kids we would always take our daughter. By age 4 she had developed tastes for escargot, lobster and caviar. When it was just us going out to eat, we had a hard time convincing her that Denny's didn't have any caviar.
