A realistic day of feeding my picky 1 and 2 year olds my one year old is new to being picky so pray for me I thought I only had one some days are rough but also some days are great for breakfast they each had two eggs a cutie some of my high protein banana bread a pouch each and then also their morning milk I found that when they're eating they have to be separated or else they just get to distracted I always like to save whatever they don't finish and offer it again later so that's going in the fridge for lunch Clarke actually wanted those breakfast leftovers so she finished all of the eggs I also made her a pizza quesadilla because I've realized she doesn't really like thick pizza the crust one thing that's worked really well for us is lots of encouragement I seriously celebrate every bite they take especially if it's something new I pretend to steal bites tell them how yummy it is rub my belly clap literally all the thing really think toddlers thrive on positive reinforcement which makes mealtime so much less stressful for us everything Clarke didn't eat got added to a leftover plate for Callahan I also added some cube cheese and Turkey pepperoni for him as well and he actually ate a decent amount and after that whatever was left got tossed I'll say food maybe once or twice but after that I'm done they have one to two snacks a day and today it was popcorn and these fruit gummies I always make them at least one smoothie a day and today was for dinner today's had bananas cottage cheese hemp flax chia seeds plus high protein milk he must have loved it because it was gone literally in two minutes I tried to serve buttered noodles with Parmesan from the night before I was proud of Clarke because she took one bite at least and then she told me all done if they genuinely try something and they don't like it we move on and since she tried it so nicely "All done" I also offered her some nuts and sourdough crackers instead which she didn't eat Callahan wasn't interested in the pasta either so honestly their dinner just ended up being mostly the smoothie with a few crackers before bed I always make sure they're hydrated and that's everything my picky toddlers ate today like I said some days are good some days are bad and today was really good but honestly I think that's just toddler life
