I forgot to add that a parent of 1 of my DCKS gave me really good advice that sticks in my head. He was one of my first ones and I could not get a fruit or vegetable anywhere near this 1 year old...not even mixed in things...ie. carrot muffin! I was asking mom for any advice, I was at my wits end, and she simply said that she felt that I am responsible only for making sure that healthy meals are offerred. Beyond that, I am pretty much powerless to getting it in their tummys if they don't want it, and not to worry myself so much about it.
