Liam's Eating (or lack of)

I am so tired of dealing with an almost 3 year old picky eater. I know I'm not alone. I am starting to give up on his decision not to eat when he's not hungry (I read the chapter on picky eating in the Momma Zen book). But I refuse to give him his choice of 5 bottles of milk a day instead of his meals, which is what he'd prefer - yes I know,the bottle should have long been buried.

This morning I made him a pastry/egg pastry my sister, who shares this agony with me, gave me - rolling out Pillsbury Dough Boy thinner and making a separate frittata with egg and zucchini. Then roll them into the pastry and put in the oven for 11 minutes. They turned out great - except that Liam only took 2 bites.

For lunch I made him pizza (cut out whole wheat flat bread, added turkey slices, pizza sauce and cheese). As soon as it was done, he said, "No pizza. I want apple with peanut butter." UGGGGGHHHH!!! So I do that. Then he wanted a piece of bread with peanut butter and jelly, which I am now eating. And nap time is next. I'm exhausted and can't wait what challenge that will bring.
