Xuanie is a slow eater. By slow, I mean, he takes about 2 hours to finish one fried egg, on the average. Hence he is not a big eater, and I constantly have to try to get some food into him.
Yesterday, I discovered that I should not always get annoyed with his lack of speed with food.
I was feeding him some fish with rice. Of course, I checked and re-checked to make sure there’s no bone in the meat I serve him. Alas, I am not as meticulous as I should be. He felt one huge bone while holding one small spoonful in his mouth for 5 min. Then, some 1 hour later, as I was laboring over the same baby bowl of rice, he found 3 more pieces of fishbone.
I am so grateful to God for protecting Xuanie from any injury that might have resulted. Little Xuanie is a slow eater, but at least I know he’s conscious of what’s in his mouth. I will try to not get all stressed out when he takes forever to swallow one little bite.
