The doctor advised us to start Nora on rice cereal first, even though it is totally disgusting. I remember it took Jonah months before he wanted to eat any kind of cereal, and even then he only liked it with fruit mixed in. But we gave it a try with Nora anyway. She was quite pleased to be sitting up in the high chair. Poor little girl… she had no idea what was about to happen.
After batting the spoon away a few times, a tiny bit made it past her lips.
Her initial reaction:
It didn’t get any better from there.
She definitely did not even swallow a total of a spoonful, and was pretty well horrified by the attempts, so I let her see if she just wanted to play with the cereal. At first she was curious.
But then she was just as disgusted as she was when it was near her mouth.
Poor Nora. What a rough meal.
