Mealtime Part I: In which I sound like a mean, horrible mother

Here's a rundown of what Oliver was offered to eat today, and what Oliver actually ate today. This is representative of a typical day.

Breakfast in living room:
Offered: Blueberry cereal bar, rasberries, yogurt
Ate: Blueberry cereal bar
Threw on Floor: Rasberries

Snack in living room:
Offered: Pirate Booty brand crunchy corn sticks, 1/2 + 1/2 mix of coconut milk and oat milk
Ate: 1/2 of milk mix
Threw on Floor: corn sticks and sippy cup with remaining milks

Lunch in high chair:
Offered: Grapes, Cucumber, Hummus, Pita
Ate: Grapes, 1 cucumber round
Threw on floor: Cucumber, hummus, pita

Snack in car and at Sarah's house:
Offered: Snap Pea Crisps, dried cranberries, corn puffs
Ate: dried cranberries
Threw on floor (of car and Sarah's house): Snap Pea Crisps, Corn Puffs

Dinner in high chair:
Offered: Macaroni and Cheese, Broccoli with Coconut Oil, Applesauce with Mixed Berries
Ate: All of the above!
Threw on floor: Broccoli, spoon, sippy cup

He also drank two 8 oz. cups of cow's milk, one right before nap and one right before bed.

So, you can see that a fair amount of food was either thrown away or eaten by the dog
today, as is the case most days. Yesterday I spent nearly $300 on groceries. For the most part, I only buy organic foods for Oliver, especially those on the 'dirty dozen' list. When he repeatedly throws those pricey foods on the floor, it aggrivates me to no end.

Many of you have probably seen the book Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach circulating around facebook. I am proposing that a series be created. The next book: Eat Your F**king Food!




Stay tuned for Mealtimes Part II: In which I redeem myself, I hope.
