Sharing plates

Tisa has got her appetite back!! Finally, she has started to eat, probably due to the fact that her stool is regular now. In the morning for breakfast I have started to give her yogurt every morning while I eat my cereals. Maybe soon I could introduce some cereals to her too. She has started to show very determinedly when she has had enough, and if I do not take her away from the table in that moment she startes to play with the food by putting some water on it and then stirs it around on the table. Or just the regular fun, throws everything on the floor.

Tisa has started to notice what I have on my plate. If it is not the same as hers she will not eat it. This happens now on every meal. She starts to reach for the food on my plate and if I give her a piece to she gladly eats it. She also refuses to eat by her self, even if I sit besides her every time. It has happend that she is sleeping when we have to eat lunch and when she wakes up I try to give her something to eat but she does not seem so interested. She will take a bite or two but not more. When we sit the whole family and eat all together she focuses on eating and now eats a nice amount of everything. My parents love to watch her eat. This does not either work for our Tisa, as she sees that she is in the center of attention she starts to make faces and play with her food. At the end, the only thing that works is the most natural one, the whole family eats together and shares the same food.

Now Tisa has had the opportunity to try some traditional bosnian cuisine from the grandmother: ocra with meat, pita with spinach (pie) and some lepina (bread). She really loves it all.
