Eating battles
This week Morgan has worked hard on eating his meals all day. Ok, this is my Singaporean side coming out - going on about Morgan's eating all the time. Eating is not just a favorite past-time for Singaporeans - I truly believe it runs in our blood! As the Chinese saying goes - 能吃是福! I can now fully understand how parents want their child not just to eat, but eat well ..... because the ability to enjoy life is the ability to enjoy one's food. How very true! Although I am no Jamie Oliver (UK's pro-organic chef) or Annabel Karmel (baby-food expert), I have done my healthy-parent bit to boycott MacDonalds and Chinese take-aways. This is a sample of Morgan's home-cooked food (next to favorites like paper, shoes and telephone wires):
1. Swede,barley,lentils and rice
2. Broccolli, potato and celery soup
3. Sweet potato and carrots
4. Fish pie
5. Banana, grapes and rice cakes
Bits of cheese, biscuits and toast make great finger food and act well as 'decoy'!
