It does not sound like you have it that bad IMO. They eat fruits and veggies, that's a dream come true! LOL.

How about serving what you've made in fun dishes?
I stress about this too. I do not make them what they like. I prepare a good meal and they get a small spoonfull of everything. They eat what they eat and then I clean up and they go off to play. Every meal there is something they WILL eat. I figure the only way they will ever try anything new is if it is on their plate and they see that everybody else is enjoying it. I do find it amazing that a little body that is growing so much and learning so much every day can survive on about 3 tablespoons of food per day. I asked my ped one time and he said kids do not gain much weight between the ages of 2-8. They get taller but maintain the same weight. I tell my 4y/o ds how many bites he has to eat. This works but he now asks at the beginning of the meal how many bites he has to eat. I would rather he enjoyed his food stopped eating when he was full. I am sure when he is 14 and bringing home a houseful of hungry 14 y/o boys, I will look back on this and laugh.
