My 21-month-old daughter was pretending to take food from pictures in a book and then feed the food to me. She “picked” an apple, and offered it, saying, “apple?” I diligently opened my mouth, pretending to take and eat it. Next it was a cracker, and the process repeated. Then she held out her hand saying, “Cookie?” But before I could pretend to eat it, she paused, her arm half-extended, then, changing her mind, she put the imaginary cookie in her own mouth instead. -Paul, father of 3
