For those of you chemists out there, I have transitioned phases: SOLIDS. This is a big step for me, and I must admit that it makes me feel more masculine. After all, not only do I now have the coordination to get things to my mouth without getting them into my eye, but it definitely also takes muscle to lift the dense teething biscuits. Coordination and muscle -- life is becoming more and more entertaining.
Now, Mom and Dad have not yet let me try any bulgogi, fried grasshoppers, or boiled silkworm larvae, all of which are available here in the "Land of the Rising Calm." Instead of these wholesome foods, I've gotten a few french fries, some pizza crusts, some sourdough crust, mushy banana.... Well, you get my drift. I'm on the road to obesity. Ok,ok. I jest. These have merely supplemented the standard issue "chicken, vegetables and rice," "carrots," "bananas and blueberries," "pears"....
I've gotten my high chair. It's not my own, but it's great. Lately, I've been on a teething biscuit kick. Most of you who know my genotype know that I do not carry any "hippy" genes that would translate into a colorful, weird phenotype. You'll never find me in VWs, long hair, purple sneakers, or San Francisco. But, these organic Earth's Best whole wheat teething biscuits are my latest fave. Unfortunately, after a gnaw one for a while, it gets slippery and ends up on the floor. I am a firm believer in the 20 second rule, but Mom isn't. Right now, she subscribes to the 0 second rule. Biscuit falls on the floor. Mom throws it out. I've watched more half-eaten biscuits go to waste. She should just trust me on the 20 second rule. It's not like we're in a third-world country...or...well....base doesn't count.
Yo, little dude! Tell her to put a clean mat on the floor near your high chair and you can save on some of those Whole Earth biscuits.
ReplyDeleteOr tell your Mom to play fall-and-catch them biscuits. She had some basketball practice years back...
