Please Sir, can I have some more...

It is so strange having a child that eats...

This is the huge difference between Riley and Ethan. He loves to eat, which has never been Riley's best thing. We have also never managed to persuade her to eat mash.

Ethan on the other hand seems to love mash (in fact any food).

While this video was going on I was trying to cajole, bribe, threaten and beg Riley to just finish her supper so that she could have a stick of licorice.



Another difference is that Ethan will sit for periods of time as long as he has food or something to entertain him. Riley would sit for seconds and then move on.

Otherwise the two are on track with each other. Ethan is very mobile and pulling up etc. His crawling is not great yet... he still drags along, but as I recall Riley did exactly the same.

Ooh, but that's lekker ... and when I've finished, I'll just eat the bowl! (The floor's well-fed, too, I see.
The two really are chalk and cheese when it comes to food...

I'm sure Ethan wishes it was a bottomless bowl, endless food. I luv the little pile of food under the chair, I had to giggle.
