It’s as if a light switch went on in her brain. This stuff they shovel in my mouth is food! Food! Her mouth has become a black hole into which large quantities of rice cereal and banana mysteriously and rapidly disappear. She cranes her head forward and holds her mouth open like a baby bird. I can’t spoon the stuff in fast enough. I never actually see her swallow, but as my sister says, it must be going somewhere.
Every feed I make a big bowl thinking to myself, she can’t possibly eat all of this. And then the more she eats, the more she gets into it. Soon I’m running out and she’s panting for more and getting this forlorn look on her face like, why are you starving me? Why?
