At 2 years old, Zachary clearly knows his likes and dislikes. The boy knows what he wants, which makes things both easier and more complicated (when he can't have what he wants, or
when he wants it!).
I always like hearing what other people's kiddos of a similar age are interested in. So here are some of our two year old's favourite things these days.... in terms of books, toys, foods, and activities....
Favourite Books:
- If carbs are on the table (bread, pasta, crackers, etc) you can pretty much forget him tasting anything else for the remainder of the meal. We try our best to circumvent this by offering veggies first... sometimes it works ;)
- Fruit - any fruit, and anything I can blend into a Smoothie.
- Veggie hot dogs
- Meat! This boy is such a carnivore! We eat mostly vegetarian but are having to seriously adjust our meal choices because this boy loves meat... and not just any meat, he has expensive taste. His favourites are rack of lamb (which he calls "meat on a stick") and filet mignon. Excusez-moi! At least he still loves tofu.
- Vegetables are a bit of a struggle... we have intermittent luck with asparagus, green beans, broccoli, cucumber, bell peppers, carrots, peas, mushrooms.... depending on his hunger level (and if I remember to serve it first before other options are available!).

Well there you have it... our boy at two years old, in a nutshell. Do you have a toddler? If so, please share his or her favourite books/toys/foods if you feel so inclined. I am always looking for inspiration! oxo Vanessa.
