Minty

Kaston doesn't like "minty" as we call the peppermint-flavored Zantac syrup. We both have to administer it to have enough hands. However, each time he resists less (still cries and makes us feel like heels), so we think he can tell it helps too. This evening Karston ate more spaghetti than I've ever seen him eat before. We had to coax him to eat, but once he got started, he really pushed in the spaghetti. After dinner, I asked him how his tummy felt. Karston said his tummy had said, Karston, eat more food, and now it said Yay! So his tummy is still talking to him (such imagination!), and now it says Yay! Yay, indeed. We like that tummy message.

Cale is working on being a champion eater. Or Cale might be normal in his desire to plow down baby food, and we just have no reference for normal baby eating habits from Karston. Normal can be such a slippery, subjective term.
