this is how it is eating ice cream with a toddler:
- after the first few tentative licks and getting used to the cold sensation in her mouth, baby will want to take charge of the cone. and will REFUSE TO LET GO.
- if the cone is sturdy (like the one from daily scoop) then there's less risk of her crushing the cone in her vice-like grip.
- if the scoop of ice cream is cold enough and firmly on the cone, then you have a few minutes' grace before the ice cream starts getting drippy and melty.
- try to gobble down as much of the ice cream despite her protests and screams. otherwise, the mess will be too much to handle. because of this, i only got to enjoy my strawberry shortcake ice cream for all of 2 minutes (or 5 mouthfuls). sigh.
- leave her with the empty cone to enjoy for the rest of 15 minutes or longer. i wonder how long more i will be able to pull this off.
