Tuesday's Toddler Tidbits #3

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

This past week, we were out of town AGAIN, so once again, I altered food options where needed. In fact, for a couple of days, we existed on convenience foods entirely (sigh). 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:

Sunday:

• Breakfast: 2 slices cheese, dry Cheerios, scrambled eggs, milk to drink
  
• Lunch: cheese toast, hot dog, milk
  
• Dinner: chicken on cornbread, roasted carrots, steamed peas and carrots, milk
  

Monday:

• Breakfast: Cheerios, cheese, mandarin oranges, milk
  
• Lunch: watermelon cubes, macaroni and cheese, few Cheetos! milk to drink
