Hongjun has been very challenging during meal time these days. Sometimes he eats some, sometimes he eats nothing, sometimes he eats a lot. It doesn't matter what we give him, we really think it depends on his mood.

So, since last night, we thought we would try to be more firm with him by not letting him leave the dining table until he finishes his meal. Last night, he just cried and cried and still didn't want to eat. That boy is stubborn. So, we waited and hope that he will finally eat but that never happened. He was starting to fall asleep so I offered him other options so he would eat something. He chose bread with nutella. ok.. good.. at least he ate something.

Today for lunch we prepared his favorite fried rice. He loves this fried rice. When he's in the mood, he can eat a big bowl of it. But today was not the day. He didn't want to try it at all, I also offered him soup.. which he didn't try either. Until we finished eating, and washing the dishes, he was still sitting on his seat. A few minutes later, we saw him resting his head on the table.



We thought, he must be tired and being really stubborn. After we finished cleaning the dishes we go around and check on him and he's sleeping!!!



ok he won.. again..
He always knows how to be comfortable while being disciplined. Same with timeout, he would just sit at his spot and just chill there. We really need to figure out how to make him eat more regularly. Any suggestion?
