There is nothing he wouldn’t try, and meals were a dream. Then at about 2 1/2 he just stopped eating bread. He would just eat the filling – never the bread.  “NO NO NO” was all I got at lunch time if bread was offered.

OK, a new method was called for.  What does he really like… Numbers were a big fave. Luckily IKEA were selling cookie cutters in number shapes – I had some in the cupboard.They had been sitting there as I had never got round to the baking cookies thing!

He got to choose which numbers he wanted – and it was easy to do. Hey presto it worked like magic. He was eating bread. Margarine on numbers, jam on numbers, cream cheese on numbers.

At the moment he will only eat the number 5. He has gone through 2 3 4 and 8. I wonder which will be next?
