Green Beans

Scout eats baby food from a jar now, and Miss Flora thinks it is her inherent right as the big sister to get bites of all of his food. She really likes it. I think she would eat a whole jar if I gave one to her.

Today we all ate green beans. I only ate one teeny-tiny bite to see what they tasted like. Blech, I do not like pureed green beans in a jar. I was hoping to keep Flora from wanting so many bites (and hogging the spoon) so I gave her the lid of the baby food jar to lick.


She liked that a lot and kept asking me to put more in the lid for her. Well, why not? It kept us all entertained, but Flora ended up just as messy as Scout when it was all over. I guess I should have put a bib on her too.


Yesterday, I was not feeling so benevolent and I refused to give Flora any of Scout's food. I should have known that she would just find another way to get the baby food. Instead of eating from the spoon (or the lid), she would lick the extra food off Scout's face after each bite! I know that's kinda gross, but it was really amusing me---and Scout thought it was the best thing EVER to have so much attention from his sister!!
