Soldier in the Vegetable Patch

Not only do we moms have the ability to manage multiple challenges simultaneously, but we are also soldiers in our own right.


Ever sat close infront of a toddler, smiling at her cute little face as she gobbles your carefully prepared meal...
And then suddenly and without warning, she chokes, goes red in the face, and before you can move, she coughs, spraying your unsuspecting and vulnerable self full of rice, potatoes, squash and whatever else you put in her eager little mouth?


Who would ever have thought rice could be used as bullets?!


Just a thought, but perhaps clothing manufacturers should create a bib for moms (and dads) for feeding time too.  I can think of a number od cute little phrases for them too - especially Dad's bibs - but I'll save that for another post!  
I think I could still scratch out an old shower cap that used to belong to my gran as protective head gear. 


So next feeding time, be aware that whatever you put in your little angel's mouth, has the capacity to come flying straight back at you. 


Bon appetit!
