So E has been starting to refuse food. He used to love chicken rice and would eat it all up by himself, now he only wants the roasted chicken skin with rice. If I sneak a piece of chicken in, he spits the entire mouthful out.
So E has been starting to refuse food. He used to love chicken rice and would eat it all up by himself, now he only wants the roasted chicken skin with rice. If I sneak a piece of chicken in, he spits the entire mouthful out.
I have resorted to telling him, 'I'm sorry but the skin is stuck to the meat. If you want to eat skin then meat comes along by default.'
He also has a new found love for the crispy coating on tonkatsu (Japanese pork chop). And anything with a deep fried coating, KFC is also a favourite.
We have been having talks on 'Real Food vs A Snack' and have implemented a rule where E has to eat 'Real Food' before getting 'A Snack'. 'Real Food' meaning rice, vegetables and meat and 'A Snack' meaning chocolates, biscuits and sweets.
E uses the phrase 'sweets and treats' to refer to snacks. So cute. Except when I need him to eat some rice or he gets a stomach ache because he gobbles up oily and sugary food and neglects to line his stomach with the basic protein and carbohydrate groups.

E has also been asking for Toblerone at breakfast. Sometimes he screams in my face as I am waking up to demand chocolate or some other equally inappropriate food item for breakfast.
17 August - Looking back while writing this delayed post, I think we have come a long way since March. It is now August and while E still loves his 'sweets and treats', he no longer yells about wanting chocolate for breakfast and actually had a good-sized portion of Korean red bean rice and grilled saba for lunch today. With an apple-flavoured drink which isn't ideal but 'you win some you lose some'.
