I'm also confused I haven't posted in a while, would that preclude me from posting in the TPISO...??

Oh, and to answer your question about whether my dd is choosing veggies/fruit..... sometimes. Today she had an apple, bowl of yoghurt, butter sandwich, pistachios, bowl of cracked wheat noodles with cheese, a small vanilla ice cream...
