You get what you get...

This is what our kitchen table has looked like for the past 7+ days.
Samuel has been the pickiest eater known to this family.
He has not wanted his favorite foods (pictured above).
He has not wanted his least favorite foods.
He has not wanted any food.
He is getting quite a few teeth right now.
Eye teeth, molars, etc.
And I am sure that is not comfortable.
Yet, I am getting quite frustrated because I don't know what to offer him.
Apart from emptying the pantry in front of his eyes and then the refrigerator, I am at my wits end...

... until I see this little face when we finally discover what he wants to eat.

When I taught 4K and kindergarten I had a saying.
"You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."
I would say this when handing out snacks, or art paper.
I would say it all the time.
It was my hope to maintain that mantra in this area into my parenting.
So far I have been horribly unsuccessful.
