My daughter, like the majority of two year olds, is particular about what she eats. This little girl does not prefer to put anything in her mouth that is green. It can't be messy. It is best if it's plain. It's best if it's cold. It's best if it's exactly what she wants at the moment she wants it. Typically, the result is "nana", cottage cheese or just plain bread.
As our day progresses, I watch how much she eats, or rather how little. The child has ample opportunity to eat, but I am also stubborn when it comes to feeding her more than seven bananas in one day. After her nap, and after playing outside for a while, I always come in to start making dinner and she has her meltdown.
Ah the meltdown. This is where she screams, hits, suggests eating candy or any other garbage she can find, but when I simply say "not now, we're making dinner," she collapses on the floor in a rage.
My wife and I have concluded that this is her blood sugar crash. The amazing thing is that as soon as I find something that she is willing to eat, she becomes the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
So domestic dad finding of the day: blood sugar influences the quality of your day. If you are the kind of person who gets crabby when you are hungry, your child will become a nightmare until you fix it.
Today's solution was a scrambled egg. I'm going to take a moment to tell you how to make a perfect scrambled egg.
For a two year old, I like to add a dash of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Eggs without those three ingredients aren't worth eating.
For my wife, I add chili powder, and green onion. Cook to perfection.
That's all.
