My cunning little baby
Doesn’t he look simply adorable? Don’t be fooled by his cute smile he is one of the most cunning baby that I have ever come across. In terms of ingenious ways of eating and getting away from the dinner table he wins his brother hands down.
I though I have seen all his tactics when he was 19mths old but now at 21mths he has come up with even more ingenious ways of getting his way. This morning when we were having breakfast at a Chinese restaurant which we frequent often he was fed pieces of sausage. Initially I though he enjoyed eating the sausage as he greedily took a few pieces. Little did we realised that he was actually just stuffing his mouth and getting ready to phew out the sausage all over the table.
What the little fellow did was spit out a bit of the sausage on the plate of noodles on the table. Next he took the spoonful of noodles that we had set aside for him to self feed himself and tip the noodles on top of the piece of sausage to cover it. Roy was attempting to “hide” that piece of sausage so that it seemed that he had ” eaten it”.
“Finish!! Lets go.. see fish” ( Indicating that he wanted to leave the restaurant to go to the fish pond which was just outside)
” Roy have you finished all your food?” I asked as I was skeptical . He normally doesn’t eat so fast and doesn’t like eating meat as he prefers fruits and vegetables.
The next thing I knew he spit out the remainder of the half eaten sausage all over the table pointed at his mouth and said” No more.. lets go” [ We have been teaching him that he has to finish his food at the table and show that he doesn’t have any food stored in his mouth before he is able to leave the dining table]
Hubby and I were shaking our head at him. Do your kids behave in a similar fashion at the dinning table?
