Snack-time sharing

Like most toddlers, Jessica goes through little phases of picky eating every so often. However, as her daily calorie needs are higher than most toddlers due to her heart condition, it can be quite stressful trying to make sure she eats a reasonable amount without making a big deal about it. This afternoon, she refused to eat anything at snack-time until I started ‘feeding’ her snack to one of her toys. She loved the fact that the toy was ‘sharing’ her food and ended up eating it all. Hopefully this technique will continue to be successful for a bit longer!
