Choices

The health visitor said “ If it was a choice between eating lumpy food or puree, or whether Darcy is drinking enough milk? I would go for the Lumpy or puree food choice as being more important !! She reckons all babies have times when they drink more milk than others, but with food they need to be eating as close to grown up food as quickly as possibly (7 months) as this can cause faddy eating in later life !!


When I was a kid I had the choice of wearing the red or blue t-shirt. I guess the choice of eating meat ( or more to the point not liking the taste of it) was mine also… ( I must point out here Darcy eats, meat and fish in her food ).

Later I had choices on which university I went to ( ok not true in the end, I went through clearing) I had the choice to drink, the choice to smoke or do drugs, the choice to believe in God. The freedom to choose is a powerful gift, and one that affects our lives everyday.

I know someone who has a relative who is dying. They have a choice to tell them the real time scale of life remaining, or not. What kind of choice is that.

Choices have got all “grown up” and tough all of a sudden !

Before Darcy I had easy decisions like “shall I go out Saturday night?” Or where shall Jayne And I go on Holiday this year. now things are alot different!
