Picking My Brain

I am constantly trying to think of new ways to introduce foods and make meal time more fun and successful. I rememebered the old toothpick trick. Kids think it is so much fun to eat with a toothpick. They successful consumed an entire peach (Drew ate about 1/4 of it and Carter ate the rest).

It was so much fun to dip the peach in sugar and eat it with a little stick. Carter even ate his sandwhich cut in cubes with his.

So much fun....too bad it does't work all the time, but hey - it was a great start!

We had to take them away when they started to put the toothpicks in the straws of their sippy cups and then try to drink.....ya....not safe. That was the end of that!
