Toddler Tales

More fun from life with a toddler……

Avery has always been a great eater. Loves pretty much all food. She is now to a point where she loves feeding herself and doesn’t want any help. I try to give her meals that she can handle all by herself without silverware (we still have a way to go in that arena!). So this past Sunday, I make her breakfast (menu: blueberry waffles, banana, blueberries and melon). She starts eating, all is good, drinks her milk, all is good, eating more, all is good, and then BAM throws her food on the ground. Not all of it, but a lot of it. Hmmm. Maybe she is full, maybe she is trying to feed the dogs (she loves this feature), not sure. So I go to feed her and she continues to eat (=not full). Maybe I just needed to refocus her. 30 seconds pass and you guessed it BAM food on the ground (as Chet and Vlady lick their lips in the background). So breakfast was over.

Move to lunch (menu: hummus sandwich, clementine, grapes and kiwi). She starts eating, all is good, drinks her milk, all is good, eating more, all is good, and then BAM throws her food on the ground. Basically a repeat of breakfast.

Move to dinner (menu: mini ravioli, grape tomatoes, carrots, and peas). She starts eating, all is good, drinks her milk, all is good, eating more, all is good, and then BAM throws her food on the ground. PRESS REPEAT?! Breakfast and lunch all over again.

I’m confused. I know I am no Martha Stewart but I don’t think it’s the food, she doesn’t seem full,….I guess it’s “toddlerism”. No comprende.

Through all of this I do have to say that Chet and Vlady seem happier than ever. At least someone is benefiting!

Oh – and the icing on the cake, Avery threw the remote at me and almost gave me a bloody nose.

Just life with a toddler…..
