Once, Rice, Three Times a Baby


Yesterday was your first day trying out solid foods. Or, what The Establishment calls "solid foods". Really, it is just nasty old rice cereal made so runny it might as well be milk. But you get to eat it with a SPOON. Apparently if the food enters your mouth via something other than a nipple, you are on the road to solidified food eating. When you look back on this moment at the ripe old age of 17 and shoving your fifth hamburger with extra cheese and double bacon into your mouth, this little foray with rice cereal won't seem like such a big deal, I'm sure.

You took to the gruel extremely well. I think you've been patiently waiting for this moment for some time. It's like you've known for a month now you could handle the stuff and were just waiting for us to get on with the program. No gagging, no choking, no horrific fits of screaming bloody murder. Just you, your over-moisturized rice flakes, and pure happiness.

Love,
Your Momma
