Ivy is truly our picky eater. She scoffs at new foods and throws huge tantrums if you attempt to get her to try something. The girl would like to live off of yogurt and Popsicles if we let her.
Recently she has started expressing an interest in the kitchen. She will try to drag over the learning tower and say "helping, helping" to tell us she wants to help. When we first started this we noticed, quite by surprise, that she will actually try foods she would NEVER even touch if we put it on her plate. And even when the food she helped prepare is on her plate she has no interest. But, she ate a handful of salad the other night after helping put it together and ate a bite of a sandwich the other day!!!
Any interaction with new foods, even just being willing to touch it is good exposure for picky kids (or so "they" say). We'll see how this changes her habits over time. Plus, it is cute to see her "helping."
