My little man is going to be two in May!!
We always give Tyler a portion of whatever we are eating. Our rule is that he has to TRY everything. If he refuses to take a few bites he is simply out of luck until snack time. On the other hand not everyone likes everything so if he just can't stand something after he has tried it several times we will let him have something else.
We are pretty strict as far as parents go but those are my 2 cents. Mimi is a beautiful little girl
