Hayden would do just fine in Japan

As alluded to earlier, Hayden is not the best feeder. He likes his milk, and is not happy about anyone trying to put solid foods into his mouth. On the other hand, Hayden loves to try and cram maps, newspapers and tissues into his mouth.

Lydia came up with the bright idea of using this to trick Hayden into eating some solids. The first attempt was a cooked lasagne sheet. I pretended it was a map, but Hayden was too smart for that, and refused to bite. Lydia's second idea was pure genius - sheets of nori. Hayden tore into the sheets of seaweed with a passion, and ate his first self-directed meal.
