Britta's first solids

Have you ever wondered what causes a child to sit in the dirt and put handful upon handful of dust and grit into their mouth? It's because their first meal of solid food, namely Organic Rice Cereal *Great Taste!*, has got the same texture and flavour as your standard mud pie. I made the exact face Britta made when I tested a dollop on my finger to see if the temperature was alright.
Yes, Britta was in for a real treat, with her first solids on Monday. She was at first quite taken aback when we tried to feed her from a spoon. She soon got the hang of it, and by Tuesday was holding on to her bowl with both hands and tipping it to see inside. On reflection, that may have been to see how much gruel she would have to slurp before her ol' dad would declare her, "Allllllllllll done!"
