liam's super food

my liam is a pretty picky eater. he has phases where he'll eat a few different things at a time, and that's it. it's always been frustrating because i never felt like he was getting all the vitamins, nutrients, etc, that he needs from his food. that food battle finally ended last week. i was strolling through my happy place {target} and stumbled upon these little pouches of perfection in the baby food aisle.

ok, i get that i'm feeding my two-year-old son something that is labeled as suitable for one-year-olds on the package. my response to that is a big, fat WHATEVER. it's the same fruits and veggies that i'd like to feed him in their natural form, but he refuses. so if he'll take it all in as a soft mush...so be it. this brings me to my annoyance with labeling of toys as "age-appropriate." don't toy manufacturers realize that kids don't always develop at the same rate? why not label them as some sort of "developmentally-appropriate"? because here i am shopping for toys with my autistic two-year-old son, who is about the size of a four-year-old and has a developmental delay of one year, in the section of toys suitable for one-year-olds. and if anyone gives me the stink eye about it, i will not hesitate to pop you in your eye. anyway, i digress....

this stuff is awesome. not only is he getting the nutrition i always feared he was missing, but the stuff is also  gluten free and dairy free. it works with his gfcf diet. score! needless to say, i cleaned out the shelf of every flavor. and liam sucks down one, sometimes two, of these at every meal. he loves it. i love it. the world is right again.
