supper
I've been running out of things to feed Ally, because she's been refusing things she used to eat. Like fish sticks. She likes them, but has been turning up her nose when I try to give them to her. And she loves oatmeal, but hasn't eaten it lately. Well, last night we decided to try something new.

When we got home, Ally went to the kitchen looking for something to eat. I made her wait until I had her supper ready - green beans, oranges, fish sticks, and a small cup of Kix cereal. The Kix is all she would eat. She cried and tried to convince us to give her more or something else ( I think she really wanted us to give her some strawberry Newtons ). We just made her get down if she wouldn't eat the food we gave her. Then, after bath at 8:20, she sat down at her table and wanted to eat. So we warmed up the same stuff from earlier, and she ate everything but the green beans and was still hungry. I gave her a bowl of oatmeal, and she ate almost all of it. I don't know what changed - if she's eating more lunch or snack at daycare, or what. Maybe it's the temperature?? - but she just wasn't hungry before. Makes me feel better. I was afraid she was just being stubborn and supper was going to be a battleground like sleeping through the night has become.
