Condiment Queen

Here's Popcorn with the doll she stole from Sweetie. So far Sweetie doesn't seem to mind too much so all is well.
Popcorn has always been a picky eater. As a baby she refused to eat anything pureed. She went right to finger foods. She continues to be the hardest to please. She can make entire meals out of condiments. For example: we had hamburgers the other night and she had one bite of burger and the rest of her meal was pickles. Yesterday she had 2 pickles for lunch (I'm not proud of this, just siting it as an example). If she sees the jar in the fridge I have one day, maybe two before they're all gone. I guess it could be worse- they used to be vegetables, right?

She also loves olives (or 'olibs' as she likes to say). I've given her just a jar of sliced olives for dinner before (although I think she also ate some salad). There's a buffet place we used to go to and she'd eat more olives than anything else. While she loves olives she won't eat them on her pizza- which I find a little odd.

She really loves cheese which most of the time I'm fine with, at least she's getting some nutrition. Except she's moved on to shredded cheese. L buys the shredded cheddar to use for nachos (he's not fond of grating it himself) and once Popcorn discovers it she'll eat an entire bowl. In fact she just ate a bowl as an appetizer to dinner. She also loves the grated Parmesan cheese. We have chicken Caesar salad quite often and she'll eat garlic bread and a large mound of parm cheese. I have to vacuum immediately after her cheese binges because it falls all over the place.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this small (and somewhat amusing) glimpse into the eating habits of my child. I'm going to post some fun stories about Sweetie that I remembered when I found one of my favorite pictures of her....stay tuned.
