Eating Shenanigans

Our little Miss Boo Boo might not be one yet, but she sure is entering into toddlerhood. Gone are the days where she'll sit quietly in my lap. Now she can't sit still and just MUST explore her surroundings. Before, if she was playing with something that was no good (dangerous) and we redirected her - no problem. Now she will protest and protest till no end. A big challenge has been mealtimes - the girl will just not sit still and eat a meal. Mealtimes have officially been stretched to 1 hour, and it takes copious amounts of distraction, patience and love to get through them.

I finally got the idea to feed her in the kitchen. Everytime she got bored, I handed her a different utensil. Izzie turned out to really dig the tupperware lids. She had a lot of fun with that AND she finished her dinner that night.
