Kiwi Surprise

How to keep a 6 month old occupied long enough to keep the kitchen? Give him some fruit in his high chair. Ensure that fruit is slippery and that he can't get a grip on it; something like a kiwi, for instance. Watch (or better yet, do housework during this gloriously distracting moment) as baby boy struggles with valor to grasp that delicious fruit with his chubby little didgits; only to fail time and time again, smooshing it around his tray. Of course, that fruit is so delectable that he doesn't cry for help, but focuses all energy on getting into his adorable little mouth.
I didn't set out to torture my child.
It was just a happy accident that distracted him long enough for me to do the dishes. And it was fantastic.
