Practical tip

This is my 2 year old...
She's cute...

But I think it's safe to say she's...

Busy, very busy!!!

And if you're a mom you know the worst... or hardest time of day is the dinner hour. Especially for the little ones who are hungry, tired from the 2 to 1 nap transition and just plain 2!

So this is how I keep her busy while I get dinner ready...

Cheese. Shredded cheese. It take a while to eat because all the sheds are little and she's hungry but it won't ruin her appetite for her dinner.

AND...
It keeps her in the kitchen where I can keep my eye on her.

Because like I said...

She's very busy, which is 'mom code' for mischievous.

That's a really great idea! Do you train her to eat one at a time? My son is one and he's starting to shove multiple pieces of everything in his mouth at once! Ha!

I love it! I usually try a recorded show, but this will be fun (and tasty) for those times he wanders in!
