“Go eats yummy nom noms,” Bel pats my tummy.
I nod and take Daddy’s hand again. “Hungy?”
He snorts a laugh as he leads me to the back area where there’s a kitchen set up with three adult sized highchairs. Food to choose from is set out like a buffet and I’m not sure what would help fill me up.
“Nanas!”
“Mmmm, bananas are so yummy, aren’t they?”
“Yum yum!” I make grabby hands at a highchair. Daddy’s eyes light up and my insides get all warm and happy.
“Uppies,” Daddy says as he lifts me and settles me into the highchair. He sets the tray down while humming a tune. “Now where can I find—ah, yes.” He grabs a bib and lays it on me. It has a lion on it. “Do you like cereal?”
“Loop loops! Chochy puff puffs!”
“Fruit Loops and CoCoa Puffs?”
I nod. “Yum yum!”
He grabs a scoop of each and scatters them on the tray in front of me. “Munch on those while I mash a banana for you.”
I can’t help the squeal and smash a few of the CoCoa Puffs making him laugh. I shove a few in my mouth and chew, watching him mash the banana.
“Do you like strawberries?”
“Yum yum, no with nanas.”
“Separate?”
I nod.
“Hmmm what else does sweet Trevor like?”
“Candy?” I bat my lashes at him and nod at the candy bars.
“What about some chocolate syrup on the banana?”
“Yum!”
“And mini chocolate chips?”
I nod and smack my hands on the tray, making the cereal jump.
“Sweetheart, don’t hit the tray, please.”
“Sowwies.” I duck my head and shove a few more CoCoa Puffs in my mouth.
Daddy turns, and he has a bowl of mashed nanas with mini chocolate chips and chocolate syrup. I make grabbie hands because it looks so tasty.
“Open wide,” Daddy Andy says and opens his own mouth.
I do as he says and lean forward, following the airplane spoon with my eyes. “Nom noms.”
“It’s gonna land.” Daddy shakes the shoulder with the purple teddy perched on it.
I hum when the spoon meets my mouth. “Mmmmm!” I wiggle and dance in my chair. “More! More!” The chocolate to banana ratio is perfection.
“Here comes Captain Nana. Zoooooom!” He makes other silly noises with each scoop and they always make me giggle.
