Eat Quickly and Carry a Big Spoon

So it may not be exactly what Teddy Roosevelt said, but it's a good enough motto for our house. Eve has reached the toddler stage of eating. As in, she'll eat, but only what and when she wants to. So, we're doing lots of different things (sometimes very silly things) to encourage her to eat - like feeding her with the serving spoon. Shh! Don't tell Emily Post.






P.S. - Apparently speaking with an English accent also encourages toddlers to eat. And then look at you a bit confused and say, "Mama?"

Oh...the English accent trick - that's all I needed! Can't wait to try it and see if the boys begin eating! Cheerio! ;o)

Or you could just fix her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
