Accomplishment

My little man ate carrots yesterday. Little baby carrots that I had steamed up for him – that he could hold in his little fat star-fish hands … I placed one in front of him to see how he would react. Once he realized what it was he looked around for more. I also gave him some left over sloppy-Joe ground turkey. I felt tremulously accomplished as my little man ate all real people / adult food and liked it. I felt good that he didn’t entirely reject what I placed before him. I felt like a provider – extraordinaire. Is it wrong that my sense of accomplishment is wrapped up in a 16 month old? Right now I am okay with that.
