[blparent] fruits and vegetables! Yuck!

Sat Feb 28 04:08:38 UTC 2009

I have that same problem.  that's just in a child's nature.  Water flavored, 
lemonade, gatorade, power aid, sunny d (not my favorite), fruit juices, 
orange, grapefruit, flavored teas, chocolate or strawberry or even vanilla 
milk.  something has to tickle their fancy.  Hold off and don't give the 
rice, just the other foods. V
