No, not my hair (well, I did chop it off quite a bit).
I'm talking about a sandwich and it's crust.
Izzy is not a picky eater, and until recently she would eat the entire sandwich.
I guess she learned yet another fabulous trick at school. She learned she didn't need to eat the crust.
Now when she gets a sandwich, (cut into triangles of course) she eats 2 bites of the triangle and then gets too close to the crust. It's terribly annoying.
And, I promised I would never do this.
But, Saturday, when making her PB&J; I *gasp* cut the crust off of her sandwich. Mr. Serious about had a heart attack.
Know what? She ate three whole triangles of that sandwich. Before, when the crust was attached, she probably ate 1/4th of the sandwich total.
Now without the crust? She ate almost the whole thing.
And this mom? Will now be de-crusting her little Princesses sandwiches for a while.
She'll learn to appreciate the crust again one day, right?

There are certainly worse things you could do. De-crust away with my blessing.
I guess I am one of those mean Mommies.;) Our motto is you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.
Yes, she will eat the crust again. After all, how many sandwich shops offer menu items followed by “and we will take the crusts off at no charge”

I too swore I would never do the “horrible” act of the cutting of the crust, but alas, I do…and you’re right – they eat more of the sandwich when you do it, rather than them eating around it! And surely, they WILL eat crust one day….but who cares if they don’t – there are bigger fish to fry.
Once upon a time I said never too. Now I use cookie cutters to make them into fun shapes. Seriously, anything for them to actually EAT!
