happyfamily_500x300_FINALFeeding time. It’s an adventure for any parent, especially for parents of babies or toddlers. Now, a new campaign from Happy Family (the folks who make all sorts of organic baby and toddler foods) wants to shine a funny light on food and feeding challenges faced by parents.

The campaign is called “Stories from the Bright Side.” Here’s my own story from the bright side … or should I say “frosty side.”

eva ice creamOur soon-to-be three-year-old loves ice cream. It’s a sweet tooth she gets from her father, who somehow manages to eat a big bowl of it almost every night and never gain an ounce of weight (feel free to hate him for his miraculous metabolism). Our little one doesn’t eat ice cream quite as often, but when she does, it’s serious business.

She got her first taste of ice cream when she was about nine months old and quickly made it clear that her favorite flavor was “chocolate cookie ice cream.” Not vanilla, not strawberry. It HAS to be chocolate cookie ice cream – a name she gives to just about every chocolate-based ice cream flavor.

She made an exception to the rule last summer when she devoured a mini helmet full of Moose Tracks at her first minor league baseball game (that’s her above, digging in). Actually, she was supposed to share it with her daddy, but daddy got exactly zero bites and was forced to get his own mini helmet of Moose Tracks.

As you can see from the picture above, she’s not the cleanest of eaters when it comes to ice cream. Just a few weeks ago, she insisted on feeding her daddy his nightly bowl of ice cream. The result? He ended up with half the bowl on his shirt. Was being spoon fed his favorite nightly treat worth a soiled shirt? In his own words, “Definitely, but next time I’ll wear a bib!”

  16. That is adorable! My daughter has been such a picky eater. But we have finally found a system to get her to eat at least a few bites of her dinner. She has something she really wants be it a drink or some cheese. so we say, “if you take a bite of…XYZ…then you can have some.” She will take a bite or two and then we give her a little of what she wants. It has taken 4 years to get this to work, but it finally works now!

  17. What a great giveaway!! I love giveaways that actually give away something for a child’s education. PS your daughter is adorable!
