After many weeks of seeing food as a toy (if it’s a piece of apple, one should destroy it with one’s teeth; if it’s mashed food on a spoon, well, forget it–you just dump the food off and play with the spoon), K’s finally starting to show some real interest in eating. When Mom was here she, K, and I went out for a ladies’ lunch and kept Katherine happy all throughout the meal by feeding her small pieces of pita and avocado. And now, whenever Sydney and I sit down with a bowl or a plate full of food she keeps her eye on it and gives us a look along the lines of, “And? Where’s mine?” Getting it past the waving hands and into the mouth is still a bit tricky, but we’re working on it.
