Cayden and his greens....

Cayden has his share of good day and bad day when it comes to mealtime. When he is good, he would finish his chunky meat and finely chopped and camouflaged greens, oranges, yellows.....on a bad day, he would spilt out his chunky meat together with the porridge and also picked out all the green, orange, yellow and throw them onto the floor.....

I had a hard time trying to imagine how he would fit this eating habit in his childcare. I have seen his lunch months ago. It was fried rice, with bits of meat and whole peas and corns ! I was thinking to myself then...Cayden is going to throw out the pea and corns and maybe the meat and just going to eat the rice.....

Two days back, I had a chance to talk to his teacher. I asked her how is his eating habit cos he was always throwing away his greens and refuse to chew meat.....Mariam looked surprised....she said that he is a good eater.....would chew his meat and eat his greens like the rest of his friends...... !!!

PEER PRESSURE !!!

Look !!! With head resting on his hand like that, he makes eating seems like a chore !
