-One Happy Family-: It's a waste!

Joshua has stopped vomiting.

However his appetite is not back yet but he’s eating more.

This few days I was not feeling really well either. I had a craving for porridge. Or rather I can only eat porridge as whatever I ate, it all came out below.
So Papa went to Hungrygowhere to do a search on the porridge. According to the review, this porridge seller has got 20 years of experience and the recipes are 20 years too. Best of all, it was at Serangoon Gardens Market.

One of our fave places.

So we took a cab down all the way to try out the porridge.
Eagerly anticipating to try the porridge.
Verdict – Normal.

Ever since Joshua went to school, his appetite increases. He can eat at least ¾ of whatever is given to him. Or sometimes if it’s his fave Macdonald, he can finish it all. And we are used to ordering something different from what we are eating for him.

I know his appetite is not good and can only eat something light.

As usual I will let him choose if he wants rice or noodle.

So repeatedly I ask if he wants rice or noodle. He told me noodle.

I ordered Kway Tiao Fishball Noodle Soup. He refuses to eat.
At first I tried to be patient. Coax him into taking a few bites.
Initially, it works. But after a few bites. He told me: “Bao Bao le”
This time I was really angry as there’s so much food left.
There’s my porridge, his noodle soup. How am I supposed to finish all by myself?

Without any choice, I just have to eat all the food by myself with some help of Papa. But he’s not a fan of Noodle soup. So limited help was given.

Fast forward to today. He’s doing the same thing over again. This time I was really angry. I refused to let him watch his Mickey Mouse and ignored him when he tried to throw tantrum.
At the end of his tantrum throwing, I won! He gave in, say sorry to me, hug me and gave me a peck on my cheek.
However he’s still not eating, only drinking milk and water.

From this I just know that I have to be firm to him. I am not afraid of him throwing tantrum in the public. He’s only a child! I know sometimes it’s unnecessary and irritating.

But I am numb to it.

Constantly having to remind myself not to lose my temper that readily and just ignore when he’s throwing tantrum. I only talk to him after that. Usually he will bear it in mind after the whole event.

Dinner time is the next challenge.

Finger crossed. Hopes he remembered what I told him earlier on.
