Well it’s been awhile since I have posted on this, but I figured I’d get back into the game with a tip I like to call “Naked Breakfast”

My just shy of 2 years old daughter is utensil obsessed! She insists on having cereal in a bowl with milk and a “poon” just like her older siblings, same with spaghetti which not even my 5 year old can effectively keep on a fork.

The rule in our house has always been dressed before breakfast, because my boys will eat until it’s time to leave if allowed. Now with my little girl I’ve had to reverse the order. First I tried to just take off her shirt but her pants got ruined with all the milk she would spill in her attempts to “eat like a big girl”. After going through 2 or more outfits every meal I opted to strip her down to a diaper when eating messy foods. A bib would probably have done the job, but she won’t wear one, so ya do what ya gotta do.

On a similar note I also keep tooth brushing items in the downstairs bathroom as the first thing the the kids do after eating dinner and the last thing they do when walking out the door in the morning. With kids as easily distracted as mine, out of sight out of mind and convenience is the key.
