Carrots!

Last night was a major (well, probably minor) milestone in Kaiya's life. She had her first food -- Carrots! I was pleasantly surprised with her reaction and appetite. She looks extremely pained with her first bite, but once it was in her mouth she got really excited.

It's as if she is thinking -- "They've been holding out on me. Who knew food was this good?"

As you can see, Money Bags was also very interested in this adventure. He had to be sitting right in the middle of the action and got very brave and took a sniff. He has decided to stick to his low calorie cat food and leave the carrot-eating up to Kaiya.

So... she really ate the carrots much better than the cereal I started feeding her last week. It's fun -- and she slept pretty good last night, so that was great too. We've had 2 nights in a row of good sleep.

My class Tuesday night was pretty uneventful. The only interesting Dirk news to report is that he is pursuing a practicum at one of the local youth services. I have a friend who is currently working on her practicum there and so I let her know to be on the lookout. Wonder if they will pick up on his creepiness? I can only hope. I also hear that I missed a pretty good story about guardian angels while we were on our break. But I am almost positive there will be more to come from him in future classes. I'm halfway finished with this class already!
