To say that Nathan has become a bit of a picky eater would be the understatement of the year.  The kid is so already in his Terrible Twos.  This morning he actually made a face at his plate of homefreakingmade blueberry pancakes - with fresh blueberries! - and maple sausage.  Then he started flinging things [...]
