Caelan is a really picky eater but will usually eat something healthy if he's promised he can have pretzels when he's finished. However, lately he's had a tendency to agree to a healthy snack but then just sort of sit there holding it while watching a show without actually eating any of it. After holding it for a while, he asks for pretzels, as though just having had the healthy food in his presence should be enough to earn him his favorite snack. We had the following discussion earlier today...
Caelan: "Mommy, could you please get me some pretzels?"
Me: "First you have to eat something that's healthy for your tummy. Do you want a smoothie or grapes?"
Caelan: "How about cheese?"
Me: "If I get you cheese, are you going to eat the cheese or just hold the cheese?"
*long pause*
Caelan, resignedly: "Juuuuust hold the cheese."
