Feed The Children

…Err feed the child.

My kid looks like she belongs in a damn feed the children commercial- skinny as hell and her damn ribs are always showing when she stretches.

She’s growing up, but not gaining much weight, though her doctor doesn’t seem to be concerned.

And now that she is exercising her right to say “No” as she pleases, she is letting me know what she wants to eat. Our mornings usually go like this:

Me: “Do you want oatmeal?”
C: (Waving her hands at me) No. No.

Me: “Okay… do you want waffles?”
C: (Waving her hands at me) No.

Me: “Okay. Momma’s gonna make you turkey sausage and eggs”

I make said breakfast and it usually ends up decorating the floor in our kitchen.

What is the deal? Is this some kind of phase? Cause it’s annoying.

This kid does not eat.

At least not from me… Don’t let Daddy come in and try to feed her. She’ll eat it. Maybe not all, but at least her Daddy can get her to eat some.

I’m okay with her starting to become a Daddy’s girl, but DADDY is not here during the day, so little Missy needs to eat something when Mommy is here!

Here’s what she will eat/drink:

  • Goldfish
  • Unsalted Crackers
  • Stonyfield Organic Yogurt
  • Bread (Pronounced”bed”)
  • Milk (Pronounced “maak”)
  • Juice- which I try to only give her once a day, but damn if she isn’t ever-so bossy! (“Dooce, dooce”)
  • Water (Pronounced “ba-oo”)
  • Strawberries
  • Cheese
  • Oh and Jenny-O Turkey Dogs- you can NOT loose with these. When all else fails, give this child 1/2 a hot dog.

And just because she eats these things doesn’t mean that she wants them on any given day or that she will eat one favorite food in conjunction with another.

I’m at a loss here, cause she has staged a coup against any other food. No chicken, no rice, no potatoes, nothin’.

Do you just let your toddler eat whatever they want, just for the sake of getting them to eat something?

  • Eddie has always been a good eater, but lately he will randomly decide that no, this food that I have always LOVED, is just not good enough for me. And on the floor it goes. Then the next week? That food is loved again and some other once loved food, you got it, is on the ground. SO I don’t have much to tell you, I guess. Eddie will always eat fruit. Yeah, that makes diapers AWESOME.
