Biscusting!

When my oldest niece was two or three, she would look at something she found gross and exclaim, "That's biscusting!"  Oftentimes, it was something her baby brother was doing that she, as the resident Big Girl, simply could not fathom (drool, poopy diaper, etc).  We would calmly explain that whatever he was doing was just "what babies do", until she was convinced enough to move past it.

Now that CJ has reached the solid food phase, I find myself constantly battling my inner two-year-old.  Because seriously, it is DISGUSTING!  Slimy banana pieces and blueberry juice are just not my favorite accessories.  Every time she eats I have to fight the urge to wipe her up after every bite, feed her myself with the spoon, or just puree everything and let her drink it with a straw.  I know she has to learn, and it is good for her motor skills to practice eating different types of food.  

Still, every meal is an inner battle of: "That's biscusting!" vs. "That's what babies do."

    I know exactly what you mean!!! Sydney is really insistent on feeding herself now and her favorite thing is yogurt (which is my LEAST favorite thing!) and so she naturally gets it everywhere and I just want to gag and run away but instead I have to praise her for being a big girl and clean it up. But inside, I'm cringing and horrified the whole time lol.

    She has to learn one way or another. But the sooner the better and then it won't be so bad. At least when she starts
