Appearances can be deceiving.

We were giving Maya a bath and for the first time we closed the purging valve so that the water in her little tub could rise. And than she slowly slid down to the water line so that water reached the level of her lips. Her face lit up as she got a mouth full of water. I am guessing she thought it was milk – the only liquid she has had in her mouth her entire life. And this was such an effortless reward – all you had to do is open your mouth and it would fill up with warm liquid… You should have seen how quick her expression went from bliss to stress – “it tastes nothing like milk! What kind of trick is this? And what do I do with all that non-milk in my mouth? Somebody hold me! I want my DADDY!!!”
