Difficult eating stage

[-KaylaLee-]

Bailey is one.  She has 8 teeth, no molars.  Normal for the age.  What a difficult eating stage it is, though!  There's so many things she can't eat yet, and there's so many things she'll eat one or two times, then flat refuse.  I stick to this rule.  If she won't eat whatever I serve to her first, (foods I know she's capable of eating, the rest of us are eating it, I take a bite or two from her plate to show her it's worth eating)  I will make something else for her to try, usually something she has indeed eaten before.  But after that, I stop.  My kitchen is not a restaurant, and she's too small to be a critic.  I figure she'll eat when she gets hungry enough to.  But oh, the guilt.  (sigh) It's just a difficult eating stage.....
