Mind Blown...?

Well, it's more like eyes opened I guess. So when I was a kid/teenager, one of the things I did not like was my mom watching me eat. She'd make food for us and then just sit there at the dining table and just watch us eat. I'd get annoyed at her and ask her why she had to do that. Her reply was, "I just want to see you eat." Well I finally figured out why she loved to watch us eat...

Everyday, I think about what I am going to feed Rhys today and if he'll like my food. Many times I put a lot of effort into making something and Rhys wants nothing to do with it and would rather eat fish sticks. So when Rhys actually likes something that I make for him, I can't help but watch him eat his food. It brings me such joy and pleasure when Rhys uses his chubby little fingers to grab the food and bring it to his mouth. But I realized that I was sitting there...watching him eat. I imagine that I would probably watch him eat for years to come just out of habit. But I hope that Rhys doesn't get annoyed at me for watching him enjoy my cooking. I hope he will just continue to put on a great eating show for me and make me feel so happy.
