Say cottage cheese!

With Franny, there are always adventures in eating. But for whatever reason, cottage cheese has always been one of the few foods that Franny just didn't care for. Maybe it was the texture or just the general uniqueness of it, but she wouldn't let it past the lips. Last week, however, she started eating it, and now loves it.

However, cottage cheese is tricky. It is lumpy enough to eat with the hands, but also runny enough where a mother would prefer it eaten with a spoon. But where there's a spoon, there's bowl, and these days, Franny must have her own spoon and the bowl must be on the tray. Yesterday, though, we controlled the mess pretty well, and when she appeared to be done, I headed off for a paper towel to clean her up. Oh, did I mention I forgot to take the bowl with the remaining cottage cheese with me? I guess she wasn't quite done, after all!
