Foolin' the Kid

It seems as though part of this parenting thing is to fool the kid into doing the right thing, sometimes. In this case, it will be good for everyone if Matthew can take a bottle.

Yesterday I fooled him into sucking it a little bit when I filled it with cool water. 'Course, he did a lot of chewing to help his gums, but part of the time he actually sucked! This morning, he drank 1/2 ounce of formula! We may be on the road to success.
