So this is actually a post for yesterday. but today was just as bad. of COURSE this is going to be about ethie...who else were you thinkng :P oh ethie my love...
SOOOO before i drop brody off at school i offer to let ethan choose something healthy for breakfast. "orange" he says. perfect... i peel him and orange, start to separate it... "i want to do itttt!" he says... ok, so i hand him the orange in a bowl. "nooooo i want new one.. i peel it!" after trying to tell him no, he has to eat the orange i started to peel, i give in. i was really feeling sick yesterday with my sinuses all conjested, and hadnt had any coffee yet, i gave in... ethie gets his orange, BUT im going to have him eat both oranges.
so he tries to peel the orange and cant. so i start it for him... then he finishes it and separates them. he eats one orange wedge and half of another... then asks for a banana. im on the phone with mom... and im not really paying attention to the bowl of oranges.. i ssumed he ate them.. so i let him have a banana.. im just glad hes eating! (he goes through purts of eating really well, then barely eating anything at all.)
so i start to peel it and by the time i get to the last peel hes upset. "i want to do it" oh ok, so i hand him the banana so he can peel it. no, thats not going to work. he wanted to peel the entire banana.. so after several minutes of trying to get him to eat it, he convinced me, (somehow.. cant remember because i was on the phoen with my mom) to give him another banana so he could peel it himself. i was ok with it though i figured fine ill just eat the other banana myself to save us both a headache.
so WOW.. what do you know, ethie cant peel the banana, just like i told him, he wouldnt be able to. so i started it for him... then he starts to peel it... the entire peel is off now. so then he takes one bite. perfect....hes going to eat it.
(mom is laughing at me btw... )
then he says he wants the other banana too. "your going to eat both bananas?" "yep!" ok, so i give him a plate with both bananas on it... hes mad because he wants the peel on banana #1. ok, ill just slap the peel on it and maybe he wont care..or notice... hes too smart not to notice, but its worth a try.
this makes him angry... uuuhh! ok... fine fine, ethie, just take the one banana you peeled. well ethie doesnt want either banana now and throws them on the floor. of course!
so i put the bananas on a plate, on the table, and its time to get brody to school. ethie can eat when he gets home.
so when we get home from bringing brody to school, i notice the bananas are gone from the table... the dog ate them while i was gone. (my boxer, blue.) she didnt touch the oranges. those i put on the counter and they are STILL there. theyre kind of gross now though so they most likely wont get eaten.
a similar scenario went down for lunch. all he wanted was this raisin bread i have. ok well thats kind of healthy. so i give him a piece. nothing on it, not toated, thats how he likes it. he wants 2. i hesitate, knowing he probably wont eat 2, but he didnt have much for breakfast so maybe.. worse case, ill put the second one back if he doesnt eat it.. i just want him to EAT!
so what does ethan do? takes 1 bite out of 1 bread, and eats half way around the edge of another piece. i saved the toast. its on the counter this morning...
he did eat pretty good for dinner though. guess i shouldve attempted the toast for dinner, but he had fish sticks and fries.. so i guess the fish is a little better for him.. so i was happy.
he had NO unhealthy snacks yesterday.. since he couldnt eat, i didnt think he deserved anything.
