Today my toddler had his very first PB&J. I’m a person who likes to hold off on some of the typical food allergens until after the 2nd birthday, but since he stole some of his brother’s peanut butter last week and had no adverse reaction, I gave in today while making lunch. I cut a piece of bread in half, cut off the crusts, put a little PB on one side, a little all natural, no sugar added peach J on the other, then sliced it into 4 small pieces. He loved it! And how easy does this make things for me? I can fix the same lunch for both of them now. Plus it gives him some more protein at lunch time…normally he just eats fruit and some cheese. He’s such a skinny little thing and I’ve been trying to figure out good ways to get some healthy calories in there. PB&J seems like a good way to do that.
Just one more step on the road to growing up.
