There is very little mystery involved in eating when you are an adult. This is a miracle, eating is unfathomably complicated. You not only need to utilize the food morsel in your mouth but you need to successfully get it to your mouth. The motor skills required to grasp then articulate the sustenance is crazy when you haven't even learned to poop in the toilet.
Cue fast paced cartoon music, we first wrangle the child. Child wrangling is not as simple asit may sound. Through life you learn certain survival techniques but there is one we have forgotten through the sands of time, flailing. When you pick up any child who is not entirely on board with the activity to follow, whether bath time or eating time if she is not on the game plan then the flail is in your future. This is a full body kicking, punching, back hunching, and head butting fit. The only bonus of this is the short lifespan of the aforementioned flailing.
After placing the child into the high chair, the food throwing and mouth missing commences. There are few thing that result in a mess more than a small child eating. The little person innthatnchair will be coverd from head to toe even under her clothes with the meal she just set out to eat. The act of feeding is crazy but it's so awesome to watch them learn, you are food the Svengali. Go home eat a nice meal, with your family, and enjoy it.
Have a great day and remember to smile, it could always be worse,
