Eating update (and a cute cardigan)







Mealtimes in Bella land are progressing nicely. Still a challenge? Yes. But, now she will happily sit at the table and after (a lot of) encouragement will eat most meals. She ate chicken and green beans the other night and we were all impressed. Now, if we could just get her to use her potty before she does a pee and not after..... everyone told me girls were much easier to potty train than boys, which isn't the case here!

Cute cardi which I love (and is a little too small) was found at the charity shop :)

  1. What a cutie! And I love her cardi. She'll get there with the potty and the food, they all do. My neighbour's daughter lives on bourbon biscuits and the pastry from outside sausage rolls! x

  2. The cardigan really is sooo cute!

    We're having same kind of challenges here, though the main problem with eating is that she doesn't want to sit at the table long enough to finish. If we manage to entertain her, she will eat almost anything, but it can take up to an hour... How did you manage to get Bella to just sit there, I wonder?

  4. Seriously cute even if she pee's before she sits on the potty. Charlie is fussy with his food. He eats plain pasta and nutella on bread. Thats it. I am hoping he will grow out of it... x

  5. It has been a real challenge! And lots of putting her back on her chair over and over. But, it paid off, she will sit there and we've been out twice for lunch last week and she sat still most of the time :)

  7. The cardi is gorgeous. The photos made me smile! My two are nightmare eaters - Bella ate nothing but fish fingers and macaroni cheese between the age of 18 month and 3 years. She's a lot better now though. Angus a total nightmare - he's nearly 3 and we need to start potty training soon...dreading it.

  10. She's adorable and I love her cardi! My 2 year old son did a poo in the loo for the first time the other day. Sorry, that's probably too much info but needless to say there was lots of excitement in my house as a result :-)

  15. hi andrea. it's veronica. how are you? been a little quiet on the instragram front but back to blogging again (well starting over if you care to join me). it is funny you say how people think girls are easier to potty train. we are not having much success with penny. she does the same as your little girl. i guess she will get there eventually. hope all is well. xo.
