Little Monkey

My child is bananas for bananas. She simply can’t get enough. ­­She will happily eat an entire (relatively) large banana and then some. There is a very real possibility that she will float away on a banana boat.

But, in an exquisite interplay between practice and her newly-discovered favourite food, Isla has learned to eat. She opens her mouth wide to receive the spoon, closes it, swallows and then repeats. No more awkward tongue thrusts or trying to suck the food off the spoon or closing her mouth too early. She has mastered the mechanics of eating. Thank you, banana.
