Hey everyone. I hope your day has gone well. My day was okay, better than most Wednesdays so I'm grateful for that!
I'm going to be heading to bed soon since I didn't sleep much last night. I'm so tired.
I'm watching the same boy tomorrow too. His mom said she would use me for date nights too when they need one. =)
Everything went well with watching him except that he's the pickiest eater ever! Not a big deal though, we managed. He doesn't like cereal! That is strange to me, Lol. My children would eat cereal for every meal if I let them!

@jstory07 Yes they are. The thing is he ate for me but doesn't for his parents... We did find things he will eat.

Sometime a bowl of cereal is just what I want for dinner. My oldest was picky but seems he is more open to trying things now that he is grown.

@fishtiger58 I feel the same way, I love cereal! Lol. He ate for me-more than he does for his parents.

@LovingMyBabies Probably he ate for you because he doesn't know what he can get away with, with his parents he knows lol.

How much do you charge a day for each child? I like cereal. I could do that. Haha. Glad you are getting the business. I recall when you first moved there you were afraid you wouldn't get any busy.

@celticeagle I charge $25 for each child. I love cereal too! Lol. I have never seen a child that doesn't like cereal so it threw me off for a second.
Yeah, I'm just doing the very occasional sitting for now-staying away from full time care.

@LovingMyBabies .....Yeah, I can see where the full time care can really put you in a bind with your personal life. And the $25 is for all day one time charge?

@Juliaacv Absolutely and I think that is where some of it comes from-he's allowed to be so picky. His dad was glad to hear that I made him eat what he asked for.

We have family members who will not eat cereal and a bunch of other things. Just the way it is for some.

@LovingMyBabies It is interesting at times to meet those who will eat almost anything not moving, and those a bit more concerned about what we serve.

@LovingMyBabies Not many Italians like cereals, this is not something we used to eat. In our days may be (very may be) they are a bit more popular among young people, but I am not really sure.

@LovingMyBabies i hope so too. It just requires lots of patience. Difficult to deal with picky children. I guess we have to find out what they lije best and feed them with it

He is 6 years old. He's really good besides eating, Lol. But it's okay-we can work through that.

I've met some kids who don't like cereal.. probably because the parents dont feed it to them for them to like it

@Courtlynn Probably right. This was the first little one I have met that didn't like it and I have been providing childcare for more than 17 years! Lol It shocked me.
A lot of parents will tell me they don't eat this or that and most of the time I have found that's because they don't have to at home.

@Courtlynn Exactly. Kids will push with their parents but do fine with other people when they know what is expected of them.

@LovingMyBabies my aunt use to say her kids didnt eat ham and turkey and stuff but when here they always ate it which means she never forced them to to know if they ate it
