Oriental pasta, anyone?

I am a firm believer, or rather, I WAS a firm believer of proper eating habits, ie no running around, no TV during meal times and vege is a must. S has a designated feeding chair where she is usually buckled up for feeding. It had worked well until past two weeks. She started to refuse solids- fish porridge, chicken porridge, rice with soup, macaroni soup, mee sua soup, fried bee hoon, fried rice.  Anything you can think of. Maximum three mouthful. It’s frustrating but I am not bowing down.

How about mee sua with tomatoe pasta sauce topped with slices of cheese!?

“Yes, please!”

“But, please turn on my favourite sing-along program FIRST.”

Morals of the story: 1) Be flexible and less anal; 2) It doesn’t matter what it takes, as long as it works; 3) A child will turn out well even if she watches TV during mealtimes and 4) It’s just a passing stage.
