the baby mash. I wondered if Mr Brooks wouldn't mind my introducing some things."
Judy started giggling. Once she calmed she said, "You call him Mr Brooks. I bet he loves that."
"Well, no. He did say to call him Dive this morning, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it."
She rolled her eyes. "That stupid name." She shook her head. "Just call him Kalen, love. I'm sure he won't say anything about it. As for solid food, I've tried in the last month to get my son to start, but he worries Koda will choke on it." She got a cunning look in her eyes. "Maybe if you start without his knowing, you can eventually show him it would be fine for Koda, and I really think Koda would love it."
Biting my bottom lip, I thought about it. "I'm not sure if I should. What happens if… Kalen doesn't like my choice, and I get fired." Looking at Koda, I whispered, "I don't want to get fired. I can't."
The silence in the room was harsh. Even Koda was quietly studying me.
A warm hand landed on mine. "You do this for Koda and let me take care of Kalen." Opening my mouth to say more, I didn't get a chance. Her hand came up in front of my face. "No, I promise, you won't lose your job for helping Koda out. Kalen will eventually see that. Don't be afraid of him, Mena. You need to stand your ground with him. Besides, I already heard you asked to be the one to cook for them both." She smiled. "Don't stress, love. He'll be fine."
She was right. I did have the lady balls to stand up to Kalen. Heck, I did it when I first met him, so what had me not wanting to with this? Maybe the scary look in his eyes?
However, Koda needed more nourishment and food that he could get excited over. Besides, it was what I was paid to be there for. Koda.
"Okay, I'll start."
"Great." She clapped.
After lunch, Judy left to let me handle the afternoon naptime. I hoped Koda would be able to go down peacefully as he had for Judy. Before his nap, though, the sunshine beckoned to me. After finding Koda's stroller and finally managing to fold it down, we were ready to head outside for some fresh air.
Koda seemed to love the walk. I told him all about the plants around us and let him feel all the leaves and pine cones. All he tried to eat, which made me laugh. After an hour of fresh air, we went back inside. I sat Koda in the high chair for an afternoon snack before I put him down. I stood in the kitchen with my hands on my hips contemplating on whether I should try something new, just something small before his bottle. With courage, I cut up some banana and grabbed a dry cracker. I made sure I was sitting right in front of him if anything went down the wrong way. When I placed the plate in front of Koda, his eyes went wide. He slapped his hands on the plastic of the high chair and then squealed before latching onto some banana in one hand and a cracker in the other. I had to chuckle when he eyed both hands like he couldn't make up his mind on what to try first. Then he shoved a piece of banana in his mouth and chomped down.
It was a delight to see him enjoy them so much and not once did he have trouble. He sucked and dribbled all over the crackers to make them soft enough to eat.
There was a lot to clean up afterward. He seemed to have gotten it everywhere, even in his hair. His joy was worth the extra work. As he lay on his back on the change table in his room, I couldn't help but notice how much he looked like his father. The dark brown hair, the steel eyes, the cute nose, and if Kalen smiled, I imagined he would also have a dimple in one cheek.
"What happened to your momma, baby boy?"
Koda babbled something.
"No matter. I'm sure you have lots of love. I can tell your daddy loves you so much." Kissing his cheek, I placed him in his sleepsuit and read him a book while sitting in the rocking chair in the corner and feeding him his bottle. I looked down at him as he fought sleep and listened to my words. After I had sat him up, he let out a big burp. I then gave him
