O.k., I've been postponing posting something about this because I've been in semi-denial that it is true. But it is time to come clean. My kids are officially food snobs. I don't know how this happened. Braydon and I are soooo not food snobs. Yes, we like our gourmet foodie specialty items. For sure. But we'll also jump right in line at a McDonald's drive through with the best of 'em. In fact, over the years, we've actively and conscientiously and purposefully avoided food snobbery. Yes, we've plunked down our fair share of a large chunk of change at some of the finest dining establishments the world over. And yes, of course we have filled our cart many a time at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and Wegman's and the like. But my bonus card is loyal to the local Giant Supermarket and I'm not ashamed of having a bag of Cheetos in my cart from time to time. Kyle and Owen, however, are a different story. Despite our attempts to instill our food-values into our children, they are exhibiting rebellion in this arena early on. Food Snobs they are (with a capital "F" and a capital "S"), and they don't like mucking it with the rest of us when it comes to their dinner plates. At the age of just-barely-three, I think you definitely qualify as a food snob if you...
... turn your nose up at Yoplait Kids yogurt, even when it is covered with images of Diego?!!!!!

That is so funny! Zoe is the same way but, she doesn't know any different. She only eats the 'good stuff' and like the boys, doesn't care much for the 'other stuff'. I think thats great! We can't control what they eat forever! HA!!!
I don't think it has anything to do with being food snobs and everything to do with this natural keen sense about what is good for them and what is not... GO Kyle and Owen!
