I never thought i'd be the Mother who would tolerate food being tossed across the room or cave to the snappy demands for a third banana. But alas, In 2021 I met my match; Theo the toddler.
Regardless of my master negotiation tactics and firm but fair approach, he is unwavering. He possesses a discerning palette with demands of bizarre culinary pairings. Demands that are followed by his merciless mess and my loyal butler service. I of course adore him to ends of the earth. So, my inner 'Cinderelly' emerges to clean up his tossed dinner remains and the sweet potato hummus somehow smeared into the cracks of the blinds.
He laughs at me while I sweep. I convince myself that he is laughing at the amusing sound of the bristles against the floor and not my pitiful backbone. Like a court's jester, I am further belittled into performing chicken dance and hokey pokey numbers; rewarded only by slow clap and further solicitation of refreshment.
I once yelled out “if you prick us, do we not bleed?!". He stared for a brief moment and then pitched a at my husband.
We work, pay the bills and manage our household. We have also become subservient peasants to an adorable toddler.
The ironies of parenting this tiny human became the inspiration for 'FoodieTot'; a company designed to honour the amusing social graces of the fantastic toddler. We hope that you join us in embracing the madness of parenting and enjoy our complementary collection as much as we do!
