Feeding Bruce is a bit tricky. To say the least. But I think we might have had a breakthrough! I served Bruce some pasta and asked him to choose cheese or red and showed him each of his options. He chose red sauce. I used some tomato soup instead of pasta sauce because the real sauce is big and I don't know if the family wanted more spaghetti and I figured I could just make the rest of the soup up for myself. (Turns out Rosie ate it as an afternoon snack instead.) I put the bowl out on a tray and just left it hoping he'd eat it better if I didn't stick him in his high chair.
I poked my head out just long enough to see him eating. Yay! I went back into the kitchen to see about getting some lunch for me too. After a few minutes I hear Bruce calling my name, so I went out to see what he was up to.
This is what he was up to.
Apparently the way to feed the kid is to let him sit on top of crates and let him watch himself in the mirror :)
At any rate, I've changed the way I feed Bruce now. I don't put him in his high chair. I try to give him choices. And I only try to feed him when I think he'll actually be hungry. So far, so good.
Thanks family. We love you.
