We have our first official FAIL in the kitchen. I had limited supplies and time, but thought I'd still make the effort to give him something homemade to eat as opposed to dipping into the pre-made stash of jarred food in the pantry.
This looks healthy and tasty! ( I thought) I do try his meals before feeding them to him.
I heard Manu's voice in my head. "and vere es zee sauce?" (any MKR fans reading?).
I knew it was a bit dry and crumbly compared to his usual meal offerings, but his repetitive banging on the table was getting to me, and he had run out of mum-mum crackers to suck on.
Ok Arthur Bear, open wide... this is yummmmmyyyyyyy...
The look I got while he processed that first mouthful was priceless. It began with an eager open mouth as he received the first spoonful...and as he chewed, we had eye twitching, a slight gag, a look of "what the HELL is THIS??!!!!!" and then the spitting began... followed by tightly pursed lips.
I tried. But it was a 10/10 fail. Sometimes I can convince him to at least try half of what I've offered... and sometimes he learns to enjoy it. This however, was just a big fat fail and a lovely mess to clean off the floor.
I gave up and ripped open a can of Watties mushy mush and he demolished the whole thing.
So here we go. What NOT to make your 8 month old for lunch.
