Frieda Noose sighed.
Her one and a half year old daughter might looked like her, but she was own-minded.
Since Casey had had chocolate cake for the first time ever at her father's
birthday party, she demanded to eat cake and nothing else.
Frieda had called her
mother, asking her for advice. Rachel had laughed and told her about Frieda's
own picky eating phase. She recommended to be patient and to try to involve
Casey.
Frieda followed her
mother’s advice and created different types of dishes for Casey. Casey’s
favorite “cakes” were pancakes filled with fruit compote and lathered with
yogurt and slivered almonds or two slices of grilled tofu stuffed with kimchi
or Asian carrot salad. Slowly Casey started to eat more balanced again. She
also liked strudels in all variations. Sometimes it worked if the adults were
having a different meal and told her Casey wouldn’t like it. She reacted very
much like her father, who didn’t like it either when he was told he couldn’t do
or wouldn’t like something.
Finally shortly
before her second birthday Casey was having a balanced diet again.
