Muffin Tin Monday - Birds and Nests

Pin It now!
Muffin Tin Monday at Her Cup Overfloweth

Happy Monday! This week's MTM theme is Birds and Nests. Here is what we came up with:

Top Row: trees (steamed broccoli & cheese), nest (shredded cheese), worms (chicken noodle)
Bottom Row: birds! (chickadees crackers), bird eggs (blueberries), more worms (chicken noodle)

Dawson helped me decide what was going to go in his tin this week. Sorta. As I was putting it together I put some shredded carrots in for the nest even though I pretty much knew he wasn't going to eat them. As soon as I finished putting it together he ran into the kitchen and said "cheese!" And then a light bulb went off. Thanks Dawson! You'll definitely eat shredded cheese, so I swapped out the carrots for cheese. :)

He ate a little bit of everything except for the broccoli, he wouldn't even try that. I think we are going to try broccoli again next week for the Seeds, Plants and Flowers theme.

Dawson has been sitting in a booster at the table with us for the last 2 weeks or so because we realized his high chair had been recalled. We called the company and they are sending us a part to fix the problem but we haven't gotten it yet. I think by the time it does get here he isn't going to want to sit in his high chair anymore since he has been at the table for awhile now. I guess we'll see.


To see what others did this week for Muffin Tin Monday head on over and visit Muffin Tin Mom.

We still havae the high chair in the kitchen, but JDaniel spends most of his time in his booster seat. I love the worm idea. JDaniel eats broccoli when it is called trees. I hope Dawson likes trees.

I love the worms - what a good idea! Very fun tin, I haven't seen those chickidee crackers - very cute!

I had such a hard time thinking of ideas. Your tun looks great.
So far I only really give out daughter a tin. If it comes to him on a plate or in a bowl, my son turns it upside down. How do you do it? My son just turned 1. Does this mean that there is light at the end of the tunnel? :o)
