sharing

I sometimes have a (very) difficult time getting Eleanor to eat. I make special foods, I give her options, I fly the airplane, I show her how good it tastes, I let her explore with her hands and feed herself, I simply place the food in front of her and let her decide whether she wants it or not. Sometimes these things work, sometimes they do not.

One thing that does tend to get her eating is letting her share her food. With mom, with dad, with the dogs, with anything that has a mouth (yes, Eleanor actually put those pieces of tortilla there).
