Toby the Gourmand

Three-year-old Toby loves food. Loves loves loves. I’ve never had to worry about a picky eater, thankfully—although I almost worry about him not being picky enough :)

When we put him to bed, he’ll often roll over and ask, “What we havin’ for dinner tomorrow night?” And yesterday morning, while eating breakfast, he asked, “So what we havin’ for brunch?”

And this is a common sight in our house, the little scamp!

P.S. French kids eat everything, a baby-food realization, and how to get your kids to talk at dinner.

i envy you.. my child is not just a picky eater.. he’d actually not eat if given the choice. he likes the idea of eating and cooking and will make food requests and help me cook it’s the actual act of eating he has a problem with..

My husband regularly asks, “what are we doing for dinner?” while consuming breakfast or brunch. It’s so common that one of our friends tries to beat him to the punch and has turned it into a little context. The funniest part is that he is SERIOUS and really wants to start planning dinner while eating another meal.

I’m 4 months pregnant and feeling the same way! Second breakfast, elevenses, yes please! It sounds like Toby may be a foodie one day. :)

My mom used to always quote that line from 101 Dalmatians about me. “I’m hungry mother, really I am.” That first photo of him is adorable!

I adore hearing about another little kid who loves food! One of the funniest things our three-year-old daughter Maeve has ever said was in response to finding out about a surprise brunch with Santa this past Christmas. Her response? “What?! I LOVE brunch!” Thanks for sharing this!
