I am the condiment queen! If there is a sauce or dip..I am a happy girl!(as some of you know from my constant talk about Sweet Baby Rays Honey Chipotle BBQ sauce!! MMMM!! DROOL!)

SO, my son seems to be following in my footsteps! Last night, he was being picky with his dinner. Bow-ties with some veggies in it with just a little parmesan cheese(That is how kids usually like pasta!), but he wouldn't eat it!.......so I put a dollop of pasta sauce on it and mixed it around and he DEVOURED it. He is the same way with bbq sauce or ketchup, etc. I mean, I can't complain....he is eating all the good stuff...he just likes sauces and dips!! :laugh:

I wonder if he got that in the womb?????? :laugh:

Also, he LOVES tomatoes!! He will eat those first off his plate. My good boy!! Getting his lycopene like a champ!! :wink:

    My kids are like that too. They like "dip dip". My oldest loves Roma tomatoes, he eats them like apples.
    We always have bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's in our house too, we go thru it A LOT! That is the best BBQ sauce ever! It is funny though, at 5 yrs old, he knows he likes Ranch with Carrots, Zesty Italian with cucumbers, Ketcup and Mustard with a hotdog, only mustard on a sandwich, etc. He is picky about which dressing goes with what. I don't mind it at all, I love it. Having my fridg door FULL of dressing and dips for a 5 yr old is funny!

    Thanks for sharing :smile: and letting me :smile: - you know us moms, we love talking about our kids!:heart:

    When my niece was really little, the only way we could get her to eat pancakes was to cut them up in strips and have a side of maple syrup for her to dip them in. It was very cute.

    I'm pretty sure most young kids at least have a ketchup thing. I used to waitress and I remember taking an order from a family with a cute little 4 year old. I asked her what she wanted for dinner and she said, "KETCHUP" I laughed and asked, "and with your ketchup?" and she said "KETCHUP!" Her mom just rolled her eyes (in a laughing way) and said, "chicken please"

    You know, the OB doc said if you eat lots of sweets, it makes your amniotic fluid sweet. So I think you MUST have helped your son's likes by what you consumed while pregnant. If it works for junk food, it has to work for healthy food. Right?
