Megan Likes Mashed Potatoes!


Megan is a stubborn little girl. She likes what she likes and she doesn't like change. Remind you of somebody?

Megan is almost 1 year old, and with that birthday comes a transition into the Twoddler room at daycare. Before she can move up, she needs to walk (check), drink from a sippy cup (check), and eat solid foods (not checked).

Ryan and I have been doing our best to ease her into new foods at home, but so far very few things end up in Megan's tummy. The short list includes: Graham Crackers, Bananas, Baked Beans, and Mashed Potatoes.

Tonight is sloppy joes! How much do you want to bet that Ryan and I will be cleaning sloppy joe off the floor?

Just remember the old trick, to put melted cheese on top of most foods. Or as Ryan use to like when he was a tot, Maple syrup on EVERYTHING!!!

Just don't fall into the trap of giving her ONLY foods she'll eat because that'll develop into a picky eater. Put the food in front of them, they'll either eat it or not. If not, trust me, they'll be hungry at the next meal. Sounds cruel by todays "passive pamper parenting" standard, but it works. Sounds like she's doing fine though. :)

If the melted cheese or maple syrup on everything doesn't work....try KETCHUP!!

Maybe if you sprinkle some cat food on it she would like it! I thought the video was great. I think alot of little kids like to try the out food.
Ask Jackie she used to try the dog treats! No joke!
She was older too.
