The Soup Dance

Ethan loves soup. Each time I boiled soup, he will be tugging my feet anxiously for some. I would normally chase him out of the kitchen as it is hot and dangerous to be tugging at my feet when I am handling hot stuff. And as routine, he will go and sit on the dining chair with his favourite book waiting for his soup.

And I will quietly place the bowl of soup in front of him. See, that is enough to distract him from his book.

And before tasting the soup, he will automatically show me the ‘BEST’ sign using his pointer instead of his thumb!

And then, he will go around dancing from side to side to show me how happy he is to be able to finally gulp his soup!
That is enough to motivate me to boil more soup for him day after day after day…. ^^
