Food Deprived

Lavigne had been having only plain toasts, biscuits, boiled potatoes and plain porridge for almost a week since she had diarrhoea. Seeing that she had gotten over it, I gave her some steamed chicken last night and she gobbled everything up. This morning she had her medley of cereals. I gave her the usual portion, she happily finished the whole bowl in no time and kept asking for more. In the afternoon she had some sandwiches and asked for second helpings too. After her nap, she saw that Louisa was having a cookie which Jun had bought and wanted some. I gave her some and she ate like she'd never tasted something so delicious before. She asked for more but I refused to give her, worried that her tummy will not be able to take it. For dinner, I cooked pasta with a tomato and orange pepper based sauce with (you've guessed it! grilled CHICKEN). I thought I gave her a little too much but I guessed she'd stop once she's full. I was delighted when she scooped one spoonful after another into her mouth and finished the whole lot! I certainly hope she'll eat more from now on and be chubby again. No wonder she's been giggly and calling me mum/mummy repeatedly at bedtime. She had been well fed today. Talking about 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'....It works for hubby, it works for my girl as well......hehehe!
