"looks like it's just us two tonight," smiles placing ella in her high chair,
picking bottles of baby food from the cupboard, "carrots, squash, peas? "
sits beside ella and opens the peas, scooping some up on the spoon.
ella's lips mold shut
groans "please?"
opens her mouth
"thank you."

"cheerios ella?" holds up the box with a smile
giggles sucking on her thumb
chuckles "i'll take that as a yes."
places cheerio's on her tray then sighs staring at her fridge
"a salad wont hurt you rory," pulls out the bowl "you'll be okay."
