Emily is a picky eater. She is reluctant to try new things and will happily go hungry rather than let a morsel of anything unfamiliar touch her taste buds. For a long time, bow tie pasta with butter and parmesan cheese was what she asked for and devoured. It was a meal she never turned down, and I named it "butterfly pasta" to be more appealing and exciting sounding. We haven't had butterfly pasta in a while because she has branched out to spaghetti and has actually been trying some new foods. I served up some butterfly pasta last week and watched as Emily picked up each noodle, ate the "wings" off the pasta, and deposited the rest in a pile on her plate. It reminded me somewhat of the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine ate the muffin tops and gave the stumps to the homeless. So behold, the butterflies and the stumps that remain....

isn't it frustrating? For a while, my go to meal was just pasta over penne. Then one day, Jack refused to eat it because the noodles were "pointy." GGRRROOOOWWWWLLLl. good luck.
pointy noodles...that's a good one. someday they'll eat like normal people. (we hope, right??)
