Oh what a MESS!!!

This self feeding thingy is not for the weak hearted. Supposedly to be good for them but it gives me high blood pressure.

Oh, I've tried this several times, but usually with drier food or cleaner stuffs (erm... like water?). Otherwise, it's usually done when I'm sitted next to her, so I could wipe it off before any big damage is done. Still messy, but managable.

Well, I was busy yesterday. Had to give her something to do to keep her safe but busy. I threw caution to the wind and poured a bowl of Heinz's banana porridge (which she usually hates!), gave her a spoon and turned my back on her.

And this.......this...... this was what greeted me when I was done cooking her porridge.

It took every ounce of energy to hold back my scream. Instead, I gave her what I hoped was an encouraging smile and said: "Good job baby! Do you want more of that?" Arghhhhh..... She did want somemore! She hates cereal and I've tried it twice on her previously, but apparantly, a bowl and a spoon does the trick more than any of my coaxing.

Oh oh... but I'm so proud of her when I noticed that she actually tilts the bowl so that it's easier to scoop up the remains (Beaming with pride). Must be the good genes inherited from her mother's side (blink blink).

And voila! You have to be there to appreciate the mess. The pictures don't do enough justice... *sigh*. And while she enjoys self feeding, she didn't quite like the mess after the food was all gone. It was then she started to squirm and fuss about all that sticky yucky stuff all over her.

Had to bathe and change her before she's happy again... tsk tsk tsk!
