SUCCESS!!

Grandma Emily gave me some advice and said "make the cereal thicker". So I made it thicker. Aidan ate his cereal and laughed while he did it.

YAY!

p.s. Pat has a theory that you can "outsmart" a baby by leveraging his own biology against him. For example, touching the spoon to his mouth to activate the natural reflex of eating (Mom's idea), and waiting 'til Aidan is nearly asleep to take advantage of the automatic sucking instinct that helps him finish his whole bottle without him noticing. He will soon write a book. Look for it in Fall 2006....NOT! ;)
