Aiden and Food

Many of you know that Aiden is overly picky when it comes to food. Mostly white, no mixing etc etc etc.  Most days I am fine with it.  He doesn't really even eat prepared food.  He will now eat homemade pancakes, waffles totally plain.  Baby steps here. 
I love to bake and for the most part he will eat my cookies, cake but he doesn't like prepared food so never dinner.
He rarely requests food.  To be totally honest at least 5 days a week breakfast and lunch and sometimes dinner is chocolate sandwich. Two slices of bread smeared with Nutella. (and if it's not a chocolate sandwich for dinner it's because it's just two plain slices of bread) 
So recently he tried a blueberry muffin at church and he LOVES them.  He asks for them all of the time.  Sweet, there is FRUIT in there.  Baby steps here.
So today I made some muffins.  In my mind it would go something like this, we get home from school and Aiden, Liam and myself (I waited to eat one with my boys) would sit at the table and partake of said delicious muffins and I would revel in the fact that he was eating my creation and loves it.
Reality check time.  We get home Liam hits Aiden and is in timeout, then moves to bathroom screaming because he has to pee (IN THE BATHROOM! just go pee then).  I dish up Aiden and my muffins.  Aiden wants to wait.  I eat my muffin alone.  Aiden finally comes in and take 2 mouse size bites and announces that the blueberries are to easy to eat and he doesn't like this muffin.  Apparently only store bought blueberry muffins are good enough for this picky boy.
Please excuse me while I scream a little.
My heart is trying not to break.
I guess I should just finish his muffin and see if that helps.

Sorry if I lost you.  Just needed to silently scream to the world wide web.  Funny it didn't really help.  Maybe I should eat an extra muffin.

Wow! I thought I had problems with Shane. Our only 2 fights are over eating and cleaning his room. I silently scream over every meal I pour down the garbage disposal. Keep up the baby steps and hopefully someday your homecooked meals will be greatly appreciated :)
