It’s Chow Time!
June 19, 2006. Monday
It’s my first time to eat solids. Ooooooh! I was so excited!
Mommy and Daddy bought me a set of Mickey Mouse feeding 
bowl, spoon and fork. Wowowee! I looooove Mickey!
At last, I could eat just like Mommy and Daddy… Yipee!
Yey! Yey! Yey! Mommy’s going to give me my first taste of rice cereal….
*Ewww!* Yuck!* What was that? *Ugh!*
*Nyuck!* *Ack!* That was food?!?!
After numerous attempts to make me take in the cereal, Mommy and Daddy waved the white flag in surrender. The stats:
No. of spoons of cereal prepared : 5
No. of spoons of cereal on my bib : 1
No. of spoons of cereal on my face and hands : 1
No. of spoons of cereal Daddy ate : 3
No. of spoons of Cereal I ate : 0
The only thing Mommy and Daddy accomplished today was to make me look like Mr. Suave with my cereal mustache!Sorry, Mickey! Your charm just didn’t work its magic today.

Monday’s attempt to feed me ended in disaster. Same with the attempt on Tuesday. Mommy skipped trying to feed me on Wednesday. She read in a baby book that sometimes, when a baby refuses to try eating solids for the first time, it’s better to stop for a week, then just try again.
Today is the third day she’s going to try to make me eat rice cereal. She tried a different tactic this time. She placed me in my car seat, put the car seat on top of the table, then played with me first. After a while, she tried giving me a spoonful of cereal. Poor Mommy, I thought. She’s been trying every trick in the book to make me like solids. She’s been dancing, singing, clapping, telling me stories…
Wawa ka naman, Mommy. Sige po, I’ll open my mouth now.
Mmmmm…. This cereal tastes good! Give me more, please!
Mmmm…. Yummy! Eating cereal isn’t bad after all.
I think I like this! Bring it on, momma! =)
