I just started a new thing today. If ds5 doesn't like what I have served, he is welcome to go and make a "sandwich" (his version which rarely includes bread or condiments) and serve himself.

This is a reaction to a number of issues the little sweetie has. He is a picky eater, he has low muscle tone and will lay around all day if we let him, he has low motivation and wants me to do everything for him, he is a perfectionist and is afraid to try.

If the child had his way I would be following him around all day doing his bidding.

I make lovely meals and always include something that he would like, even if he won't believe me that he won't find the taste/texture offensive, it's there!
