Preschool Food Pyramids

For 5 years, my eldest son has listened to me casually reciting the food pyramid as I put together meals. He knows that we try to eat a protein, vegetable, dairy and fruit at every meal. (We usually get our grains at breakfast, with sandwiches and with snacks).

Since I’ve been juggling baby #3, my son has been helping more with the meals. I’m so proud that he understands healthy nutritional guidelines, and he knows to order his meals in a well-balanced setting.

That’s not to say that he doesn’t sometimes want candy 15 minutes before mealtime, but hey, we’re making progress!
