feeding

Not sure because the toddler has grown up due to the new found method to let her hit. My girl has started to eat more. basically the concept is distraction. Some people uses TV , some people give toys to toddler while eating. Basically I pass her a spoon so she is being distracted and excited by trying to feed herself. Of course be prepare the food will be flying here and there

touch screen era

ever since my toddler used the touchscreen tablet, it seem all the devices that display images have touch screen capability. She will press on my conventional HP & my laptop as though they are tablet and leaving fingerprint all over. Who knows when will the mouse be obsoleted just like the floppy drive !

Laziness - good or bad

Is laziness good or bad. When one is lazy ,one would think of ways to make things more effective. For example, recently too lazy to peel the skin of the kiwi fruit and also peel the skin of hard boiled egg for breakfast. So what do I do. For kiwi, cut into half and use a spoon to scoop it out. For Egg, same concept, break into half and scoop. The down side of course is the aesthetic. Wastage wise, depend on one's skill !

2 cents thoughts - time for children or internet

If one recorded down the duration spend with children and duration spend in the internet, which one has more hours ? We all know what is important and which give you temporary pleasure. The difficult part is constant awareness of the importance VS pleasure.

2 cents thoughts - The battle of feeding

Nowadays toddler so smart and naughty. Need to squeeze brain juice during meal time to feed my 1 year old without presence of toys or TV. She loves to eat fruits, biscuit and water and have strategy that she get it.

Round 1
one hand holding the spoon with food and the other hand with a fork with fruit. While she open her month for the fruit quickly feed her with food - She refuses to open month after a few attempt.

Round 2
Feed with water on the same spoon - she open her month so small that only water can seep through.

Round 3
Put some biscuit / raisin / fruit on the food. To avoid she "addict to the treats", for some serving, I go without them - She scrutinise the spoon before opening the golden month

In the end my battle was lost and need treats every spoonful. There is the last strategy to use but will only use when she is older - to let her go hungy :)
