Vai’s shocking mealtime

This is what generally happens during ALL his mealtimes nowadays.

Food goes in. Some comes out. Mom scoops it back in. Some falls on the table. Kid wipes it all over with both hands. Hands go into mouth and wipe face.

Spoon approaches mouth. Kid swats the spoon.

Spoon approaches mouth. Kid makes sudden moves with head and food lands on eyebrow.

Oh my.

[A rather shocking sight, I know. In the end he looks like he's been splashed with mud or something!]

At least he doesn’t cry or complain much now. And he does finish his food in the end (30% of it goes everywhere else other than the mouth though!)

PS: Just in case you’re wondering about the green goop he’s eating. It’s spinach.

Oh goodness! You mean he looks like this everyday and for both meals?? Faintzzz… YOu can think about making him wear raincoat or something. What if you are out for a meal??

Hahaha … I’m GLAD those days are over! Yes, EVERY meal time it was really really messy!

So I’d normally let him wear only his diaper and bib, and immediately after he’s done with his meal, I’d lift him off (his body not too close to me!) and go straight to the bathroom! He’d then have his shower. The most practical way at the time.

And when we’re out and about, either I breastfed him a lot, OR I let him eat and DISTRACT him as best as I could!
