On sandwiches

Oh, she's cunning, that Mummy...


Alice started out eating sandwiches beautifully, but went off them in a big way. It was a bit of a pain, as they are obviously so portable and easy to prepare.


I tried all kinds of tricks - giving them to her when she was really hungry ("No, no"); giving them to her while other children were eating them ("No, no"); trying to give her a bite of mine ("No, no"); and tonnes of different fillings. It was particularly odd, since she loved toast and dry bread.


We love to feed the ducks. I say we, but actually I feed the ducks and Alice eats whatever I give her to throw in.


Now the ducks eat marmite sandwiches. And so does Alice.

And so would the monkeys and seals at the zoo if Alice had had her way.
