Jane has recently started eating solids. So far I haven't put anything in her mouth that she hasn't gobbled up like its the best thing ever. This includes nasty looking pureed vegetables.
Emily decided that she wanted to help me feed Jane. Like a good little mommy she ever so carefully scooped up the perfect portion of rice cereal on the spoon, patiently waited until Jane opened her mouth to give her the signal that she wanted more, delicately placed the tiny spoon in Jane's mouth. Jane took the food and mission accomplished. Just as I was thinking how gentle and kind Emily is with her sister, Emily scooped up a huge amount of rice cereal on the spoon and "Splat" she flipped the spoon and flung cereal on Jane's head all the way down to her belly button. Jane, thinking everything Emily does is fabulous, starts giggling deep belly laughs that only Emily can elicit from her. Emily joins in and I froze with this dilemma, should I join in and laugh or send Emily to time out.
