Ohhhhh, yes yes and yes!!!!! WE sound like we have very similar approached to feeding our kids . I have one *picky* eater..... the others we have worked very hard, and encouraged a whole heap, and NOT made a drama out of food... they will try anything and everything, doesn't mean they like it but they TRY. And my littlest one... she is on her own foodie journey and little by little she is eating more and more. GREAT blog post xx
