Food Pains

Ugh, so feeding time has become a bit of a disaster around here. Clara has decided she hates it. She hates her high chair. She hates being feed. She hates her bib. She hates her food, and she pretty hates any effort made by anyone to get her to eat. It's been fun. You get her within a foot of her high chair, and the screaming begins. This started up about a week ago and is increasingly playing itself out.

Hank, watching all this, decides that Clara is pretty darn smart. So, starting last night, he, too, is loudly expressing his discontent with meal time. Oh, the joy never ceases.

We are hopeful that when they are weighed on Tuesday, we will get news that they weigh enough that a few missed meals here and there aren't too big of a deal. For now, we are just trying to find the patience to coax a little more food into them, one bite at a time.

Hi Christine! I wonder if the antibiotics have been causing Clara an upset tummy and so she has started to associate that with eating? Are they feeling better??
Glad to be able to peek in on you courtesy of the internet. Patti (Betsy's sister)
