First of all, thanks to everyone for their great advice yesterday. I read every single comment and REALLY appreciate all of the opinions and information. A few things I have learned:
soy milk really isn't as healthy as I thought it was
soy milk isn't good for boys in large quantities
he is "filling up" on his milk, therefore he doesn't eat
I will choose my battles more wisely
the problem is NOT just with sippy cups
I need to order the book Love and Logic
the sippy cup is something he will outgrow
being a good mom takes lot of work!
and lastly,
I am going to try and make eating more fun...
so my pinterest picks for today are from my board

Fun ideas. These might even encourage the picky eaters. I wouldn't mind a lunch or snack like these for myself. Thanks for sharing.
I love those ideas. I think i just might try some with Tyler, although he is a lot better about eating. Katie loves everything but the sippy cup and milk go hand in hand otherwise she will not drink it. It is a battle at our house too. Good luck!
That is such a fun collection! Thanks for putting it together. I really should put a bit more effort into my kids food.
How cute is that!!! super fun! great for halloween partys too :) thank you for sharing
Glad you are finding ways to overcome your challenges :) If you want a TON more ideas, search for "muffin tin mondays". There's a blog about just that, and there is everything from easy-simple to the most extravagant! My 6yo will try anything if I put it in a muffin tin on a Monday!
Thanks for featuring our fishing game! My son LOVES going fishing, and he is slowly working toward actually eating the celery fishing pole. I love all of the other ideas that you posted too. I'm going to have to try some of them myself!
I love all of these picks! So cute and crafty!

Meet the Dubiens is a great site - she does Fun with Food Fridays every week. And another one is Muffin Tin Monday. She does links on Mondays showing all kinds of muffin tin ideas. I do Muffin Tins on Mondays too and my boys really love them. That is the best day they eat lunch!
