As has been noted before, we have a daughter that we would call a picky eater... except that it would be unfair to picky eaters. She's that bad.
Miss Roo's latest trick has been to accommodate us by taking the bite we request - eventually - but then leaving the food in her mouth for a long. Long. Long. Time. This evening was a personal record - she still had the final bite of her dinner in her mouth at bath time, 25 minutes after she had been dismissed from the table. "Swallow it," I told her - repeatedly. "I am!" she exclaimed. But alas, she was not.
She just got into bed and I am happy to report that her mouth was in fact empty by that time. Hallelujah. How that child manages to maintain the 99th percentile growth and weight that she still enjoys is completely beyond us.
