Nero was introduced to curd today. After an indifferent meal of dalia, vegetables, complan and cerelac; he had to be dragged to the dish. Once he found curd though, his entire view of the world changed. The world was white, cool and in his dish! He fell upon the curd with gusto, licking his plate clean in a matter of seconds and restlessly looking for more. Since he had already had lunch, and I wasnt sure if he would like curd, I had only given him a couple of teaspoons, so I relented and gave him a bit more....then a bit more...he cleaned the dish everytime! After the third helping, I stopped. His stomach had already ballooned and I figured he was running on pure greed. He was on such a high that indeed he would have wiped the entire tub of curd clean if we let him!!
Post lunch, he waddled a bit towards a nearby mat, and then when he though no one was looking sneaked 
off to his favourite place by the couch. I dashed, picked him up and deposited him on the verandah. He knew the game was up, no more sneaking...now it was all dashing about. After a couple more tos and fros he finally gave up and pooped in the verandah. Post his toilette, he slowly waddled off the the cooler bedroom regions. He went to his canopy bed for a cursory chew at his blanket, but I knew his heart wasnt in it. He was too well fed to bother with anything except a nap, and hey presto, next we saw him, he was fast asleep. Not on his well prepared bed, but on the cool cool floor next to bed.
Even an irritating flash couldnt keep him up for long. 
He was in dreamland, everything else could wait. :)
