I started drinking my mom’s coffee when I was 3 years old. Anytime she would turn her back, I would grab her mug and take a swig. So yummy. Warm, sweet and creamy… and of course it made me so hyper I could play all day long! Nothing could stop me! I knew from a young age that coffee was GREAT! :)
Now, of course, I would never let Faith drink my coffee. Not now, and not when she’s a toddler. So no hate mail please :) When she becomes a sleep deprived teenager, not wanting to get up for school… then yes, I’ll lure her out of bed with a nice hot cup of lovely caffeine if she wants it. And yes…. I do believe she will want it :)
Faith has been fascinated with my cup of coffee for months now. She smells it, and instantly her mouth opens, and her eyes grow big! I wish she would behave this way when I try to feed her baby food. I have now introduced her to baby cereal, squash, and sweet potatoes. She has no interest in it. Her little mouth stays clamped shut!
This morning I let her play with my empty mug of coffee.
There goes the teething ring!…
And the world fades… it’s just her and mommy’s mug…
I started laughing so hard, she turned to look at me, but STILL can’t take her mouth away from the mug…
Trying so hard to get a taste…
Where’s the coffee, mama? C’mon!
If she hates to be spoon-fed but loves grabbing what mommy has, maybe she’ll like the “baby-led weaning” way. Have you ever heard of it? I bet you wouldn’t love the mess it causes, though ;)
Oh, by the way, it looks like Top Baby Blogs is resetting its counter. Might be a chance for a surprise uplifting?
I never heard of “baby-led weaning.” I will be Googling that to find out more! I don’t mind the mess. That’s part of the fun. I want it to be an enjoyable experience for her :)
Thanks for the head’s-up about Top Baby Blogs resetting their counter. Maybe I can get back on page #1! Thanks again!
