Anyone who knows our family well knows how challenged we were by our daughter's tremendous food preferences since birth. She was initially a 'salty/crunchy' type of gal--and anything that was smooth or soft (just about everything else), you may as well never try to feed it to her. Over the couse of two years, we requested and received advice from several nutrionists--many of whom were perplexed by Abby's feeding preferences. Eventually though, with time and encouragement, Abby has slowly, but surely, overcome her preferences. We think it may be due to her brothers--both of whom are great eaters. Interestingly, one of the nutritionists we worked with--Linda Piette- is also an author. She wrote the now-famous book "Just Two More Bites." To further develop her practice, Linda is now working on a companion DVD to accompany her workshops--showcasing 'great eaters' and 'not so great eaters.' After learning that Abby had some new brothers who were fantastic eaters (thanks to our super-connected grapevine of friends), Linda asked to put Alec, Aramis AND Abigail in the DVD. We were thrilled to be asked--especially after having endured years-long battles with Abby. But, we are so proud to say that all three of our little guys are expected to be featured in a DVD showing positive eating habits! Who would have thought???? Maybe all three of our kids (given their frequent appearances in newspapers, newsletters, Emmy nominated DVD series and now, teaching/educational movies) will become the next Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie! :)
