Okay now this is interesting.

Right after I wrote about Vai and how tough it is for me to get him to take his solids, he actually … started to eat relatively WELL!

Hardly any crying too! I’m amazed.

But. It’s SO messy.

He opens his mouth and once the food’s in, 50% will come out (more, if he’s looking down!) and I have to quickly scoop it in again. And this happens throughout his mealtime.

And now that he’s discovered the art of ‘blowing’, he often playfully ‘blows’ the cereals as the spoon touches his mouth.

He also ‘wipes’ the table with both his palms. Kinda like ‘finger painting’ to me!

Oh the food goes all over his face, hands, arms, bib, baby chair and the table. And of course the floor (AND my T-shirt!)

He’s very happy though. And he finishes his meal! (Me so happy!)

So now he only wears a bib and his diapers during mealtime. And he goes straight to the bathroom for his ‘thorough’ shower afterwards.

I’m fine with it. And he sure looks he’s okay too.

PS: I hope it doesn’t go back and become ‘tough’ again AFTER I write about it!
