Feeding the Toddler Boy!


For me deciding what to feed my toddler has always been a struggle.  You want them to eat healthy foods, but in reality they want gummies.  Or at least that's the way it is in my house.  I really wish he didn't know that gummies existed but when you have more than one child things get complicated.  So since I can't deprive the five year old, the twenty month old gets to have them too.  He is on a gummies kick and brings me packages to open all throughout the day. I don't open them and he screams. Sounds like fun, huh?

Anyway, in an effort to get him to eat healthy and enjoy it, I have been making him more exciting lunches. So today he has frog sandwiches (what a terrible picture of them), blueberries & strawberries, cucumbers with ranch, and celery.  I am watching him devour it all as I write this post!

I have a five year old and a toddler, so I know the feeling and can definitely relate on the gummies!!

Luckily my toddler is a fairly good eater, but I have noticed that both boys eat better when I do "fun" or "themed" lunches, so I try to do them at least once a week now.
