An Overpriced Rubber Spoon and some Beech-Nut

Today we decided, as experienced parents of over four months now, that today was the day that Duncan was going to eat dinner at the table.

A lot of preparation and money went into this. No — seriously.

Aside from the food, we had to buy him a chair to sit in and even a spoon to use.

Total cost — around $160.

I’ve never even had a $60 meal. I came close once.

Actually, no, I’ve never come close…

I’m just recalling that one time that I somehow ended up picking up the bill for an ex-girlfriend’s night out with friends to the tune of around $200. The place didn’t even have free refills… Ugh…

Makes me angry just thinking about it…

Anyway, going all “Mommy-blog” now; Duncan did just fine.

He swallowed a few spoonfuls…

Spit a few back out…

..and then he wiped his own face.

All in all, I’d call it a successful day.
