Tuesday's Toddler Tidbits

(See here for an explanation of Tuesday's Toddler Tidbits)

We had company in town for a good bit of this week's eating, so we ate out more than is usual. The toddlers (in triplicate) were also all recovering from a bad cold and didn't have much appetite. I suppose this is not a very glowing nutritional week with which to begin. Oh well! Serving sizes, where applicable, in parentheses. Remember, these are my offerings to the little toddler tummies...when food offered is not consumed and I know they've eaten it in the past, I assume the tummies are still full from the last offering. Here's the lineup:
