Dear Aditi,
May i kindly request that until such time as u r able to accomplish the task from start to finish, i.e. take the food from the bowl and shove it into ur mouth with a spoon, plz allow me to assist u in the said activity. i can understand ur desire to be independant, but remember there r other things u can try to do urself - like play alone, amuse urself, read to urself, etc. But the very important activity of feeding is best left to ur mom, i.e. me. For one, the food is actually in the bowl and not in the spoon as u seem to think. u r content to chew the spoon for hours(ok, mins) together, but what abt replenishing the food
from ur baby-bowl?
For many days i wondered y u were crying. Was it that u did not like ur baby-food? Or was it the other extreme - u were not getting enuf of it? Aur dekha tho, u wanted to chew ur spoon! u kept fighting with me until u grabbed the spoon from me and shoved it into ur mouth and chewed on it firmly, giving me a look which said capiche? (or in other words, see?-that's-what-i-want!). i am mightily scared of ur look(and much more of ur wailing) and have let u chew the spoon all u want. Consequently, eating food, which shd take 15 mins at the most, is taking up the best part of an hour. well, whatever!
And while we r on this subject, i have one doubt. Is it an appreciation of my cooking-skills? Or is it rice in general? Why do u do - phoooooh? One minute u r fine, but the next, when i give u a little nicely-mashed-up-rice-with-dal-and-one-boiled-veg-with-salt, u go phoooooooooooh. Very entertaining at the moment, but pls remember ur attitude towards rice needs to change a bit. Especially when i have done the cooking! Ur Appa and Nidhika exchange sniggering looks, as if to say Aditi is our spokesperson. since i am too busy at the moment, i act as if i haven't noticed. Remember, though i forgive, i don't forget.
Also, i wanted to ask u howz ur research going on? Yeah, the one in which u r trying to find the rattle that is edible. i can see that ur field of research has expanded to include the TV-remote and transparent polythene-covers. Awaiting the conclusion of ur research, so that we can get on with mundane matters, like how abt starting on some fruits. Or juices, at least.
Alrite, that's all i have time to post coz u disdain to perform certain activities on ur own and mercifully leave it to me, like washing ur bum after potty.
So, bye!
Ur Mom.
PS : With regard to the habit of trying to feed urself and y i am against it for now, I thought of mentioning the fact that u r still a few days shy of 6 months-old. But of course, that is irrelevent. Self-help is the best help, no matter how early u start.
