On feeding JE

Feeding JE has been tough lately.  She keeps food in her mouth for AGES! This morning her breakfast was fried noodle. Quantity wasn't much at all, about 3 mouthfuls if I were to eat it. Hubby was messing around in the garden so I fed her a mouthful and let her go 'help' hubby.  But after a while I got tired of asking whether she'd finished each mouthful coz the answer was always NO. Got tired of asking her to SWALLOW THE FOOD.  So I told her to sit until she finished the noodles. So she had to:

JE: (Chew chew chew)

SE: Papa can carry me?

5 minutes later:

JE: (Chew chew chew)

SE: Mummy can carry me?

Another 5 minutes:

Me: Mouth still got?  

JE: Got

SE: This is taking too long. I go out by myself

She was miserably fiddling with her spade and itching to go yet she was unable to eat faster. I kept spooning soup in to help her swallow too. Sigh.

I got her de-worming medicine yesterday. Hopefully that will do some good.

And needless to say, I was late to work again this morning!
