First Porridge

I'm finally able to cook porridge for J that is soft enough for her.

Yes!!

*throws confetti*

My past few attempts include pretty awful porridge that are too hard for her to chew on.

I end up eating all of it.

It is baaaaaad....

This time round I learnt to soak the grains of brown rice before I start cooking it.

It says on the packet that pre-soaking is not required but I guess that's when you want the brown rice to turn out fluffy and not soggy.

I also made sure to add in lots of water so it doesn't dry up before the porridge gets cooked.

45 minutes on the stove and I get spinach porridge that J is able to eat!

I ever told my mum, "You know, when J is interested in feeding herself I'm just going to let her do it. Mess is inevitable. I'll just clean up. No biggie!"

Well, J hasn't shown interest to self feed yet, but I did end up with porridge smeared all over her high chair, porridge on my dining table, porridge all over her I had to bathe her again.

And the floor got all sticky from the porridge I had to mop it, again.

I've underestimated the amount of cleaning I've got to do.

That's when I realise...

Well, wasn't quite expecting that.
