  • You Love to Feed Yourself!

    Dear Kristen,

    You're indeed growing so fast and there's so many things you are learning to do. It's so hard to keep up!

    One of the new things you have been doing for a few weeks now is to feed yourself. It is a very messy process indeed, and fortunately, you're eating in the kitchen during the weekdays with Auntie Belle, so you don't mess up the carpet in the dining room. When you're naughty and don't want to eat anymore, you would toss the bowl upside down in your tray and create a huge mess. But when you are really good, you are able to scoop the food and into your mouth with no mess, and much faster than when you're being fed too! So, it's a give and take situation.

    During the weekends, you would feed yourself too, sometimes. The TV is a distraction, so when previously I would let you watch the TV while I feed you, now I would let you sit at the dining table and concentrate on eating. You definitely enjoy eating!

    See, here you are at Botak Jones' Bedok outlet last Saturday after our visit to the Bedok Library. It was just Grandpa Victor, Grandma, Mummy and you there. We just wanted a snack before dinner so we popped by for some fries. You loved the fries... although the fries got a little hard by the time it cooled down enough for you to eat. Mummy wants the fries would the chilli con carne gravy next time... Mmm.. hungry.

    Yum Yum eh?

    Love,     
    Mummy
