Our little Benjamin is an extremely civilized eater. He opens wide for the spoon, eats everything happily (except peas, which he has thrown on the floor), and generally isn't too messy. Lest you think Benji is perfectly neat in his eating, however, I submit the following photos.
Carrots are probably the messiest food and, unfortunately, also the only food that stains. We have been known to strip him down to his diaper for carrots or feed that veggie on bath night.
Green beans was Benji's first non-cereal food and I still think one of his favorites.
Overall Benji has been great with the spoon, as seen in this photo. Last week, however, he started grabbing for the spoon and trying to play with it. He also got his fingers in the cereal for the first time. I expected him to shove his cereal fingers in his mouth and maybe start feeding himself, but instead he looked at the cereal closely and felt this new texture between his fingers.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
