It's amazing how rice cereal manages to get EVERYWHERE! On the bib, on his face, on his hands, down his shirt, down my shirt?!?! The first week of feeding him was so frustrating! He would pay attention to everything except what I was trying to get him to do. I had to really watch myself and remind myself that he didn't know what he was supposed to do; it's all new to him. A couple of weeks have gone by and not only is he eating better, he's eating 3 tablespoons of cereal each feeding!!! He has to eat 4 before he can start on jars of fruit. I'm so proud of his progress and also fascinated by the realization of what we learn as humans. We are the most advanced species and yet we have such humble beginnings! So many animals are born with the capability of eating and walking but not us! We have to depend upon our parents (or guardians) to nurture us and teach us these vital lessons to help us survive. Just a little thought for a Sunday evening. :)
