Strange Toddler Eating Habits

    My daughter is a pretty good eater but sometimes I have to laugh and shake my head at her food choices.  
    She likes spinach, which is great.  I love that she likes a food that is so healthy.  Her favorite way to eat it though is straight from the freezer bag to her plate.  Easy for me, but for sure not the way I want to eat my spinach.  She also enjoys frozen mixed veggies.   Come to think of it she actually likes a lot of food cold.  I told her I would warm up some chicken for her for lunch one day and she cried.  She wanted the chicken but she wanted it cold.  Thinking back when she was younger, under a year, I would give her leftover oatmeal and malt O meal in congealed chunks.  She loved it, so maybe this love of cold food is my doing.  Well if it is or isn't I guess that's great because as strange as it might be, not having to warm up all her food is easier on me and I love easy.

One thing that did not make it into my veggie broth. :)

    Another strange one is onions.  This is a resent development but she seems to really enjoy them plain.  I was cutting one up the other day, she grabbed the other half and took a big bite.  I thought she would not like it but she went back for seconds.  Since she enjoyed it then, I gave her a small handful for dinner last night and lunch today, since I was having some on my hotdog, She gobbled them up.  
   I won't try to change any of these eating preferences because I don't see the reason to but they will still leave me chuckling a little.  
    What are some of the strange eating habits your toddlers have?

children and their sleep can be funny

    Children and their sleep can be funny, other times it can be extremely frustrating but this post is focusing on the funny.
    This week L has decided twice that the chair in her room looked like a better place to sleep then her bed did.  No idea why; my guess is she really was trying to stay up longer and was expecting me to say "no, sleep in your bed".  If I had done this she would have cried and in the end prolonged bed time.  I instead said go ahead, and then moved her after she was asleep.  Sneaky mom I am. ;)


    This decision to sleep in her chair reminded me when she was about 10 months old and she decided that the floor right beside her floor bed was a better place to sleep.  There was a small rug and she moved her pillow so I went with it.  I laughed inside and scratched my head too.  This phase lasted about a week.  
     Its been a few days since she has tried to sleep in the chair so she may have gotten over this phase faster.  I wonder if I will see anymore funny sleeping places out of her.  Well if I do I will be sure to share.
