Did your kids eat turkey and all the fixings? My 3.5 year old ate a little of everything-turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, squash soup, cranberry, green beans and a roll. My 10 month old ate a little turkey, squash soup, some sweet potatoes and a little roll. They both ate some apple pie. I was pretty impressed.
ETA: I forgot they both ate macaroni and cheese too.

Ha, nope! Lo asked my mom (who made the entire Thanksgiving dinner) to make her rice and my poor mother did (grr), so lo ate a huge bowl of rice, a roll and 3 helpings of carrots with maple syrup glaze.
-
My 3 year old did the typical toddler thing- crescent roll, two carrots, cranberry sauce. And Apple pie and ice cream.
My 11 month old ate everything- turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, corn, carrots, Brussels sprouts, plus crescent roll and a bite of cranberry sauce!
-
My 2yo ate not one single bite of dinner. Wait I take that back. He ate butter off of a roll. Before dinner he ate some crackers and chips. He had like 2 bites of pumpkin pie. That's all! Plus a few bites of French toast this morning and an applesauce pouch. Poor guy! I mean he was offered delicious and varied food all day so I don't truly feel bad of course!
-
Ds 1 - a roll and a yogurt. Ha (and a cupcake, cookie and ice cream. )
Ds 2 - some stuffing, potatoes, a roll, one bite of turkey and a cheese stick.
-
Ugh - my almost 4 year old ate mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and a buttered roll. And pie of course. Oh well - at least she ate something?
-
@fancyfunction: better than just the butter!
-
DD ate turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, a roll, macaroni and cheese, pie, and ice cream. She spit out the cranberry sauce.
-
@junebugsmama: True! Her 2 yr old cousin was just licking the butter off her own roll!
-
10m... just ate sweet potato puree, cheese sticks, oranges, and cantaloupe. ... just trying to use up what we had! He doesn't like veggies or meat very much and I didn't have time to try and focus on getting him to finish
-
@fancyfunction: glad mine wasn't the only two year old who did that. My aunt picked up the butter and he yelled no! I was so embarrassed, it's not your butter kid!
-
@junebugsmama: Haha - at least he knows what he likes!
-
He ate one piece of cake.
SIL set the cake on the table where LO was sitting right when he was about to start eating. Once he saw that it was all over.
-
My 15 month old devoured everything except for the yams. Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberries, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and chocolate tart. Cranberries were the favorite. Kid loves to eat, so it was her kind of day.
-
Turkey and mashed potatoes. I can't blame her, I don't particularly like stuffing, carrots or canned green bean casserole either. At least she ate a lot of what she ate. Then she had ice cream and didn't eat the pie.
-
My 2 year old ate turkey and sweet potato pie. We ate dinner later than usual so I think he was exhausted. The leftovers will be the test.
My 7 month old ate Earth's Best apple cranberry turkey. -
@jhd: same for us!
My 2.5 year old dislikes a lot of thanksgiving foods so my expectations were low...did not guess he would refuse to eat the mac and cheese I put on the menu for him though. He took one bite of cranberries which he promptly spit out. And ate a chocolate turkey cupcake and a few bites of chocolate cake.
He's forgiven because it's 7:45 am and he's still asleep.
-
@junebugsmama: zero dinner here too
The whole day was too much for him, I think!
-
The toddler tried everything but was too distracted by all the kids and just wanted to play. She didn't even really eat dessert, so it was definitely just that she was distracted! The baby just turned 6 months and enjoyed her first taste of real food! She loved the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. She had a little turkey with gravy and apple sauce and I let her have the tiniest taste of dessert which she of course loved haha!
-
DS ate almost the whole bowl of mixed nuts that was on the table before dinner so he only ate carrots at dinner
DD ate a little of everything. Apparently, she really likes canned cranberry sauce. Who knew?
-
My daughter insisted on pancakes, so I made her turkey shaped pancakes. She ate the feet and feathers off of it. She also ate some strawberries and watermelon.
My son ate a whole bunch of ham! I was pretty proud of him for that. He also ate fruit and the filling from a couple deviled eggs.
-
@gilmoregirl: at least I'm not alone! Hoping today is a little less sugar filled but we are still at the ILs where there are absolutely no rules.
-
2 year old only ate cranberry sauce. Wouldn't touch anything else. He also ate 1 chicken nugget and then promptly went to bed at 6:30 (his choice) so I guess he was too tired to eat.
-
Turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, carrots and a cup cake!
Maybe a few butter cookies too -
DD had turkey, mashed potatoes, a roll, asparagus, and some raw carrots, plus pumpkin pie and ice cream. DH also tried to get her to eat roasted carrots, stuffing, and green bean casserole but she refused them.
-
The boys had everything: pumpkin soup, salad, turkey, cranberry, green beans, mashed potato and apple pie!
-
DD ate turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli, stuffing, and rolls. Her favorites were the rolls and broccoli.
I'm sure she would have loved pumpkin pie but we ate it after she went to bed
-
@jhd: we have a house full of company and B is stressed but handling it like a champ so I've thrown the rules out until we get back to normal tomorrow. Today he's eaten a chocolate chip bagel with peanut butter. Oh well!
-
@gilmoregirl: hey that's not too bad! T has had goldfish, applesauce, and one mini muffin today.
-
My 2.5 dd ate Turkey with whipped cream. My mom let her dip it because she thought she wouldn't like it, ?84 she did. It was the only thing she ate. Kids are so weird.
-
He had a roll, a bunch of black olives and a piece of pumpkin cake. He just didn't want anything else that was on his plate. Meh.
-
My 2-year-old ate a bunch of gumbo, macaroni and cheese, and "chicken". Plus some Fritos my mil was snacking on while we waited for my sil to get there. Although she never sat down with her own plate and spent most of the day running around with her cousins.
-
My 4 year old (the pickiest eater ever) ate a bite of cranberry sauce and 1 bite of sweet potato. He wouldn't even touch a roll or piece of bread.
My 2.5 year old was so hungry and sitting at the table waiting for the food. I fixed him a plate with a little of everything and he dug in but I didn't see exactly what he ate. I think just some squash and cranberry sauce. At least that was what he was wearing all over his shirt after the meal!
-
T (15 months) ate everything. Turkey, stuffing, green beans, brussel sprouts, yams, scalloped potatoes, cranberry sauce and a few bites of apple and pumpkin pie. And a taste of whipped cream.
O (12 months) barely ate anything, left dinner to take a nap, then returned 25 min later and ate almost an entire yam! She also tried the pies and a bit of stuffing.
-
Both of my girls ate spicy sweet potatoes, green beans, tried the corn pudding, and ate turkey. The older one also had a dinner roll and pumpkin pie. The younger one had seconds of sweet potatoes and dressing/stuffing.
They both had leftovers for lunch and dinner today. Same stuff. They've eaten really well given all the company we've had.
-
My three year old slept through dinner along with my two year old nephew, and to be honest that was kind of awesome. When he woke up we had some turkey, green beans, a dinner roll and some mac and cheese. My ten month old went to town on the mashed potatoes, he could not eat enough fast enough.
-
DD (8 months) ate about a bite each of turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. She's not really a fan of solids yet
-
Three year old ate turkey, rolls, a little stuffing, salad, pie (apple and pumpkin) and cheesecake.
One year old mostly ate turkey and pumpkin pie
-
My 7 month old is still eating puréed foods, but I tried to give him Thanksgiving type food. He didn't finish all of his jars and Friday morning had a true Thanksgiving day after leftover plate lol.
Beechnut has some awesome flavor combos 1) butternut squash + sweet corn, 2) apple+ strawberry+beets *, 3) pear+pumpkin+pineapple.
* the beets jar looked like cranberry relish and wouldn't you know my aunt made pickled beets!
-
18 month old ate good heap of mashed potatoes, two rolls, and a little bit of the brown sugar ham. She was not interested in turkey or anything else. She had mashed potatoes and toast for leftovers again last night.
SIL set the cake on the table where LO was sitting right when he was about to start eating. Once he saw that it was all over.
The whole day was too much for him, I think!
