Sighing Over Spilt Milk

Sighing Over Spilt Milk

The oversized

mug

with cornflower

motif

was far too big

for her

to hold safely ..

But she

wanted so much

to be

a big girl in her

mummy’s eyes

and held

on to it tightly ..

And close

to her chest in

just one

of her tiny hands ..

Which is

why I guess she

always

tends to get milk

in her

porridge and her

porridge,

in both ears

and all over her hair ..

Messy times when babies start to learn to feed themselves. Takes great patience, but so very endearing. Remember it well. A lovely moment captured here Neville.

I love this because it's so true and almost beautiful to watch (even though we are the ones cleaning up the mess).... everything just fits and the ending is almost hilarious .... very clever write Neville.
