Your kids name+ age: Holden, 12 1/2 months old

What do they have for breakfast: Every morning for breakfast Holden has a few plain Cheerios, which I usually put down on his tray to convince him to sit down, and Earth’s Best Oatmeal to which we add a multi-vitamin with iron. Although those two are constants on a daily basis, we usually give him some fresh fruit and a few other options, depending on what mama and daddy are eating for breakfast.

This morning, Holden had part of a whole wheat bagel, a scrambled egg, and a fresh peach. On other days he will have a piece of toast with jam, a smoothie with kale, spinach, pineapple, and banana, blueberry waffles, or a hard boiled egg.

What do you and daddy have for breakfast: We usually eat the same things Holden eats because I just make a little extra and give him small portions of whatever we are eating.

Unlike his mama (I’m probably the pickiest eater in the entire world), Holden will eat just about anything. We are lucky in that he is not picky in the slightest and seems to love food. The only issue we sometimes have is getting him to sit still long enough to eat more than a few bites. Playing wins out over food every time. So we have recently started bringing an animal to the table with us and “feeding” the animal Holden’s breakfast. Holden LOVES this and will eat whatever the animal has just “eaten”. I give one bite to the animal, then one bite to Holden. He thinks it’s pretty hilarious and it makes mealtime fun. This morning, the tiger joined us for breakfast.
