This is a very bad photo, I admit. The sunlight is hitting the camera thus the hazy result but with children, I've learned that it's all about spontaneity, you can't get them to change their position or smile again. So anyway, this photograph is significant because ... 'drum roll please' ... Sera is eating again! After a 5-day food boycott, she decided she missed it. Last Friday evening, out of the blue, she pointed at our dinner and indicated she wanted to eat. So despite all the books and people telling us it's really OK that she's not eating, we are still very relieved and grateful that she is eating again. Phew! But we've also learned that with little Sera (and I'm sure with many other toddlers), the only consistent thing about her is her absolute right to be inconsistent.
Now back to the photo. Not sure if you see it but she has a 'pink nose'. Ha ha. That's what her teacher wrote on the daily communication slip yesterday - 'Sera has a pink nose!' And translated in 'not so cute' terms, it meant Sera got too close to another kid in class who was having a cold (and who should have kindly stayed home, in my opinion). But I've realised that I'm going to have to accept the fact that Sera is going to get sick more often now that she is going to school. 'Groan'.

You must have cooked something real yummy. :) I think all babies and toddlers would boycott food for a few days, their way of telling us to get more creative with our cooking. Chloe was like this 2 weeks ago, it was ABC macaroni that got her eating again and for 3 days just that.
Hi woman ... missed you! When are you going to add a post on misspeanutbutter huh?
Well it wasn't my delicious cooking that got her eating again. We were dining out at a Japanese restaurant and I think she was trying to impress the Korean guys at the table next to us. Ha ha. Our little flirt!
