Hands talking
This evening during supper, Ewen was eating a little reluctantly. We had already struck a deal that he eat some of his food to get the Apple Juice he wanted. And I had reduced the amount of pasta he needed to eat.
With his apple juice finished, and was around three quarters of his pasta gone he asked for some water. I suggested he should eat a little more, but that I would be gracious and give him the water. The next thing I knew he had placed his right hand in the cup, and exclaimed, quietly, "Ooh! That's nice and cool!"
He made another response to that comment, "Do you want to go for a swim too?"
"No! Wait, I need to go first!" retorted the right hand again. And promptly dived into the cup again. The left hand dived in the water once the right hand had vacated the cup.
They both anounced, "Now we're both wet! We'll have to get dry."
And that was the end of Ewen's meal. He now anounced that he wanted to get down, and forego the yoghurt. It would have meant eating the remainder of his food, which did not hold any interest for him at this stage.
