With my second child, I attempted to do the same. It lasted 10 days. . . He was ONLY served jars of Gerber. Well, not completely. I tried and tried but it was much harder to do. I did not feel like less of a mommy for this, this time around though.
Well, over the past (David's fourth birthday is in less than 2 months)few years, I have given in to requests for Pop Tarts, Coco Puffs, Coco Pebbles. . . I could go on and on. I take my kids with me to the grocery store which makes it very hard. I want to keep the peace so we can get out with a happy mommy.
My challenge to myself this month is to make more healthy, homemade breakfasts for them. Cooper (17 months old)will eat anything and would devour any homemade breakfast. David, on the other hand, is a very picky 3 year old. He used to love waffles and pancakes. Now, he prefers dry cereal on the couch with some Dinosaur Train.
David is like his mommy in the mornings. Grouchy! In his case, he needs some dry cereal and Dinosaur Train on tv. In my case, I need just shy of a full pot of coffee. Somedays I do not fully awake until noon.
Back to the point, I am going to branch out from pancakes and waffles and move on to CREPES!
I just made a batch of them and they are waiting until morning in the fridge. We will be having blueberrys and syrup as the topping tomorrow. In David's defense, he has been trying so many new foods lately, it's like he is a different child. We do not pressure him with food. If he does not eat what is served at mealtime, he will wait until snacktime to eat again.
Do you have any tips or breakfast recipes for a picky child? Next, I will be making strawberry muffins and freezing them for the month!
