Our daughter is a picky eater too. We have found that giving her options and letting her choose seems to work fairly well. Our pediatrician basically said that at this age (2.5) this is normal and that really, a lot if kids will only eat a handful of things and that this is okay. Just make sure she's eating, even if that means she's only eating grapes and cheese, it's better than nothing. So, there's been a lot of grapes, cheese and oddly enough hummus of late.

We have a routine each night that includes me reading a book to her prior to her going to bed. I know that you have a different schedule so maybe you could introduce reading time after breakfast or prior to her nap?

Every kid and circumstance is different and each comes with their own challenges, this much I've learned. Our latest challenge are "tantrums". They come when she's overly tired or outbid her normal routine, but man... They're ugly.

Good luck with her eating. In an ideal world all us Hubski parents could get our kids together to play.
