It seems like I'm the only person in the entire family that struggles with spoon-feeding Nyla her rice cereal. My husband can feed her a good, healthy amount of rice cereal without even getting a spot on her face. My mother can do it in under five minutes and not a single splash of rice cereal on her face.
I am the worst. I try to avoid feeding Nyla her rice cereal as much as possible, because it is a disaster when I'm done. First off, it takes us over 15 minutes to feed, whereas her dad can get it done in over half the time. I spend most of the time trying to entice Nyla to open her mouth with my stupid sounds and songs. Oooohhh Nylaaaaaaa, here comes your foooooooooooooooooood. Never works.
And when I'm done feeding her food, she has it everywhere. Cheeks, fingers, forehead, ears, elbows, toes, down her shirt, up her nose. It's disastrous.
I need to learn the way of Paul Ellis. He's so smooth and efficient when he feeds her. I must study and master his skill, because as it is right now, I get frustrated. Will try again to feed her tonight for her dinner feeding. Nyla, I will dominate this so you can get your food easier! :)
