PBMT - Day 268
Though the cough seems to have gone, Adrian is still battling with his runny nose. It's been a challenge trying to make him eat these days (well, it's ALWAYS a challenge ever since he had NB). Last week was brutal that he even refused to have his usual congee/soft rice. We had no clue whether he was sick or he's sick of having the food that Mama made. So we decided to let him try out our meals e.g. regular steam fish, boiled veggies and rice. He's had it for a week and so far he seems to like it. At least this makes meal time more enjoyable & adventurous for both of us. But being a picky eater, he only likes fish, all kinds of veggies as long as they are GREEN (except corn) and some rice. Portion wise, he can finish 3/4 bowl of veggies easily (60%), 1/2 bowl of fish (maybe 30%) together with rice (10%). We are worried that he's not had enough so this "adult meal" trial is only applicable for his lunch and dinner remains his usual soft rice/congee. Let's hope he can be more adventurous and is willing to try out more variety of food and later transition to having all "adult food" with us!

Yeah, "adult meals" can be convenient, but kids will definitely lose weight over it. I remember Kate being a very chubby kid while still eating her congee. But once she switched to "adult meals" (because congee deemed very boring for her and difficult for us to bring along every time we go out), she began to slim down!
Hope Adrian gets well soon... no more coughs and runny nose (maybe he is allergic to something, if it's not a cold?).
Oh dear - we are also battling to get Deqlan to eat anything beside bread and cheese and biscuits! We wish he would eat some vegies! Just trying different things and hoping eventually something healthy will taste good to him - they say though that at this age our kids will get fussier ...hoping they grow out of it soon! Hoping Adrians cold gets better soon!
Prayers always
Samm and Deqlan
