I love my little bird

July 22nd, 2009

Last night Ella and I were laying on the couch when she spotted my cup of ice cubes. And she loves to eat ice cubes but I’ve always been scared that she would choke on one. Therefore, I break them up in smaller pieces for her. So we’re sitting there doing this little ritual. I break them up in my mouth then she opens her mouth real wide and I put them in hers. (Is this wierd, by the way?)

Then it occurs to me that I am like a momma bird who chews up her worm and feeds it to her baby. So I tell Ella about this analogy. Then I add, “I love my little bird.” To which she replies, “I love YOU, big bird.” I have never heard sweeter words.

    I too, have given my kids food, ice, etc. that I put in my mouth first. It seems perfectly normal at the time.
