Today after eating hashbrowns for breakfast, a sucker on the way home from Disneyland and one Carl's Jr Chicken Star for lunch, at 5:30 she refused the following for dinner:
Grapes
Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
Dried Fruit Snacks
Lemon Cake
Macaroni and Cheese
At 8:00 she saw some grapes on the counter and decided that she was hungry. She ate about 15 grapes and was done. What do I do?

She won't starve herself.
Until kids are about 4-5 years old, they have the ability to know what they need to eat and how much. (After that the years of "clean your plate" catches up with them, and they don't know when to stop or what they need.)
Eating is the real true control kids have for themselves. Keep healthy options around (like grapes) and don't worry about.
Congratulations. She is a normal kid just like everyone else.
When you figure it out, let me know. I have three extremely picky eaters.
Sydney has always had very strong opinions about food....yay (as usual) for Ruth! Since Sydney hasn't starved herself yet, I figure she'll be fine. She might drive you crazy, but eventually she'll eat.
This makes me laugh.
You make a meal and let her eat what she wants... but don't be a short-order chef! She won't starve herself!
I would suggest letting her eat sugar all day until she gets sick.
her hair is so cute in her sucker pic :)
I would have ate the lemon cake. :D
