Happy Meal.....NOT

Feeding times are a horror in our household. It usually (out of 7 days, only 2 are good days) ends up with both Gabe & I screaming...and tears follow (it's mostly Gabe, but i have a small share).

When we started solids, it was really really bad so much so i dreaded it. It is better now, but there are some very hard days. Days where you just want to fling the bowl and be done with it. These days, there's less screaming and tears. But still loads of nagging. Mickey Mouse has alot to do with this. Yeah i know some parents are against the idea of watching TV while eating..but sometimes we have to bend the rules abit and focus on the bigger picture. So, if i want Gabe to put on weight, he's gonna have to eat more, and if watching Tv is it, then, yeah...TV it is.

Some of our happy meals:




Breakfast times are the happiest..he seems to enjoy it alot. Dinner is the worts of the lot...which brings us to scream fest:




And, there's the "after screaming scene". Basically he's done his protesting and screaming and crying, but i insist he eats more. So he goes into his "Bo Chap" attitude which means he will eat, but he'll take his time and do it with no joy whatsoever in the hopes that i give up



Yeah, fascinating huh our meal times? Anyone wanna volunteer come feed him?
