You're most welcome.
We've done the sandwich thing AGDee described. And I can see the Happy Meal thing as an ocassional thing -- I've done it. But there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. And the Happy Meals should be an exception, not the rule. The way to squelch the drama is to teach the kids that the drama will not be tolerated; dancing around them because it's easier doesn't help anyone.
I think ree's problem is they tell her what they want and then don't eat and complain about it. As I've said, I don't think the real issue is that they're picky eaters. The issue is their parents are allowing them to be rude and inconsiderate. That's a real disservice to those kids -- and to their future friends and significant others.
