Every bite is a blessing

When I was a kid, I was always taught that every single grain of rice comes from great effort, and I was taught not to waste any bite of food.  As I grow older, I couldn't agree more.  





I'm always thankful that Aidan loves to eat.  Anything that we put into our mouth, he's interested to try.  Sometimes he'll walk great distance just to get a bite of our food, then he will walk away and mind his own business.  





One thing usually frustrates mommy and me though.  Aidan is learning to eat on his own.  But he doesn't have the right control of his hands (and spoon) yet.  So usually by the time he's done with his own meal, 30% of his meal will end up on the ground.  Sometimes we'll need to take his food away just to show him this is not a desirable behavior.  And then you can further tell how fond of food he really is, by having 'this' expression. =)





Aidan, when you're a big boy and see this post, please understand that mommy and daddy is teaching you a valuable lesson in life.  Don't waste your food! =P
