Sheru started on his rice cereal diet a few days ago.

Over the past few weeks, Sheru had been grabbing at every food item on the dining table and eyeing them deliciously. So much so, that Mama couldn’t contain her desire to expose him to solids.

After much fanfare, a new pack of rice ceral was bought and a spoonful was mixed with formula and water. Sheru was adorned with a huge plastic bib and seated on the bouncer – all ready to pounce on the cereal. The cereal was brought forth in a special silver bowl and spoon.

Five frustrated minutes later, a visibly angry Sheru was spitting that spoonful all over the room – bib notwithstanding. There was utter chaos and people were running trying to clean him, calm him, pick him up [Daddy was vigorously strumming the guitar].

That was 2 days ago.

As of today, Sheru sits down on his carseat – the grotesque bib still exists – and merrily munches away on 2-3 spoonfuls of cereal 2-3 times a day. Ah the happiness on Mama’s face.
