Food Fight

Eating is like an adventure in fun

I play and throw my food on everyone

First it was cereal then potato

Next it was green beans and then tomato

I liked it all but made a big fat mess

From my hands to feet; from my head to chest.

I tried avocado-- it was a bust

Oatmeal’s a yummy in tummy must

Not so sure about these green kiwi yet

But yellow bananas are a sure bet.

Vegetable, fruit, or grain is a fun game

But to me some things just all taste the same.

I submerge my ten fingers in it all

I squeal as I spread it and have a ball.

My bib is covered in food residue;

My body is covered all in it too.

To the tub I go when the meal is complete

A bath is also for my high chair seat

I wonder how much is in my tummy

And how much more food will be yummy?

This is all so new this learning to eat

I haven’t a clue; but it’s a good treat.

I look like a natural disaster

And in the end I fill Mom with laughter

We love each meal time and its aftermath

When baby and kitchen all get a bath!
