I fixed some tomato soup, which I normally detest, but being pregnant will do strange things to you, and I've had a hankering for tomato soup. I was leery about giving him soup, because, well...that sounds like too much mess and not enough eating. I went ahead and gave him a small bowl of soup. He tried a little bit and WOW...it was like I hadn't fed him in months. He slurped that soup with gusto. He couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough (it didn't help that he couldn't spoon very much into his mouth to begin with).
And then he realized he could just drink out of the bowl. He drank and drank and drank some more. I refilled his little bowl three times, and he loved every drop of that tomato soup. Who would've known?
This was one happy boy. If only he would eat all the time like that.
