Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I just read an article in a magazine my daughter wrote about her and my granddaughter's reaction to the election.  It is heartfelt and wonderful.  Right speech in spades!  Speaking of which, I wish my tiny grandson could speak about why it is he won't take a bottle.  He's great, until he freaks out when he feels hungry because he won't take the bottle.  I'd give anything to be able to explain to him that he feels bad because he's hungry.  He will drink about an ounce, then refuse and get very upset.  It's his mother's breast milk, but he prefers his mother attached to it.  As soon as she picks him up and he nurses, he's back to his happy self.  Most of the five hours I watch him, he's a happy camper, playing on the floor looking all around, listening to me sing to him, being strolled around the neighborhood, but finally he is hungry and then he's inconsolable.  Well, maybe next week he'll figure it out.  I'm off while his other grandparents take over, so hopefully they'll solve the problem.  Me, I just wish I could whisper in his ear that the answer to his suffering is in that bottle, if he'd only give in a little and drink it.
