Hi everyone,
we've all been suffering from really bad cough/cold comination - dd has been off her food and really going at the bf to soothe her throat - it's like I've got a newborn cluster feeding, and not eating hardly anything at all. Fortunately, today she had more than a couple of spoonfulls of breakfast, and asked for bread mid-morning, so she's obviously feeling a bit better now.
BHM dd is a pretty useless eater. My ds ate, and still eats everything we give him, and claims his favourite veg is brussel sprouts LOL.
The list of foods dd eats is hopelessly limited - fish fingers (her favourite food above all others), swedish meatballs, bread, buttered crumpets, various breakfast cereals, cheese, breadsticks, any pasta, any rice (including rice pudding) but not keen on sauce, so no opportunity to hide vegetables. As far as fruit is concerned, she only likes bananas (has never eaten a whole one), and will eat fruity yogurt. Vegetables - oh dear, will only go for peas and raw peeled red, yellow or orange pepper, but does enjoy spinach and ricotta tortellini. Actually, that list doesn't sound too terrible when written down. We always put other food on her tray and try to enourage her to eat - I guess she'll get there in the end.
Potty training - I did this with ds when he was 2yrs 5months. It took a week of staying indoors during horrible wintry weather (people who say 'do it in the summer' are ones with gardens, we didn't have one attached to the house at the time). However, It's a good idea to familiarise your LO with the toilet now, if you don't do this already. Always tell them that's where you're going and take them with you if convenient, make a point of going before you go out, talking through the whole routine, hand washing etc - children learn by copying. They'll want to try themselves when they're ready.
Hope everyone's sickness is better soon.
