I have realised that dd is a grazer. She prefers to snack all day long rather than have big meals. So now I just keep giving her snacks every couple of hours or as she asks. But I do try and put a small bowl of vege or the likes before the snacks at dinner/lunch. Her snacks are generally pretty healthy. things like dates, sultanas, fruit, rice cakes with vegemite etc.

So that's what has been working for us. I tried to giver her a bowl of homemade minestrone soup last night and she was already tired and cranky, so she threw it all over the floor! Was not happy!
