One last thing. Today, I ate lunch with my sister in her home with her 2 kids. The youngest is Madi (pictured above), who as I've mentioned before, has unfortunately taken a beating from Rain now and then.
Anyway, my sister served everyone a plate. Madi (who is about 7 0r 8 months old) had already eaten, so she was sitting in her little Bumbo seat on the floor. After everyone started to eat, it was clear Madi wasn't too happy about missing out on an extra meal. So, Rain scooped up some corn in her own baby spoon, walked across the room, and put the spoon in Madi's mouth. Not only was it pretty cute to see, but Rain didn't realize that because she was carrying the spoon like a toddler (it was flopping around all over the place), by the time she got to Madi, it was empty.
She kept going back and forth bringing an empty spoon to Madi. Poor Madi! That kid has thighs like turkey legs from the state fair--so chubby and cute--so she had this look on her face like, "Where's the food, Fool?" Then Rain picked up Madi's sippy cup and tried to let her drink. Sure, her aim was all wrong and again Madi was tortured, but Rain's finally learning some compassion!
