TODAY meteorologist Dylan Dreyer has never shied away from letting fans see the real-life chaos behind the polished studio lights — and her latest home video may be her most relatable yet. The beloved anchor invited viewers into her bustling kitchen this week, where she juggled motherhood and mealtime in a moment fans instantly hailed as “so real.”
Dylan, 41, posted the sweet — and hilariously honest — clip to Instagram on Tuesday, featuring her three sons: Calvin, Oliver, and baby Russell, whom the family adorably calls Rusty. In the video, the mom-of-three attempted to spoon-feed Rusty a mix of carrots and peas… only to be met with flailing arms, squirming, and a firm refusal from the stubborn toddler.
“Here I thought Rusty was a picky eater,” Dylan wrote. “Turns out he just didn’t like who was feeding him!”
As Dylan struggled, Rusty made it clear he wanted nothing to do with his mom’s attempts. But the moment big brother Calvin stepped in — everything changed.
“Well, Calvin’s got the magic touch,” Dylan said with a laugh, as Rusty opened wide the instant his older brother offered him a spoonful. “Sorry, Cal… get used to it. It’s YOUR job now! Welcome to my world!”
The short clip captured a scene so familiar to parents everywhere: one child in tears, another proudly taking charge, and a mom trying her best to hold it all together with patience and humor.
Fans flooded Dylan’s comments instantly with praise for her honesty — and for giving them a refreshing dose of reality amid the curated world of social media.
“You’re so real — thank you for showing actual mom life!” one follower wrote.
Another added: “Your boys are adorable and you’re the best mom. This is what we love to see.”
For longtime viewers, the video echoed the playful spirit of Dylan’s popular “Cooking with Cal” segments, where she and her eldest son experiment with family-friendly recipes — often with adorable, unpredictable results. Calvin, it seems, is quickly becoming the family’s unofficial sous-chef and baby whisperer.
Dylan, who shares her three sons with husband Brian Fichera, frequently posts heartfelt glimpses of motherhood online. Just days earlier, she shared a sweet photo of all three boys grinning on the carpet, surrounded by toys.
“I missed National Sons Day — shocker,” she joked in the caption. “But I love these boys more than life itself.”
Fans have long admired Dylan’s ability to balance her high-profile TV career with the beautiful, messy, exhausting reality of raising three active young kids. Her latest post only reinforced what viewers love most: she’s not just a familiar face on TV — she’s a mom doing her best, laughing through the chaos, and letting the world in on the fun.
And with Calvin now taking over baby-feeding duties, Dylan may finally have a little help in the kitchen — even if it came from the most unexpected source.
