It's been interesting to watch Ellie learn about simple things in life that I take for granted. Example: Breathing and eating at the same time.
Step 1: Denial
At first, the result was quite cute*. Cough. Cough. Choke. Choke. Sputter. Sputter. Gag. Gag. Sigh (enter cute fish-face as though she was saying "woah, what was that?").
Step 2: Anger
Then the result was not fun. Ellie soon learned that she really doesn't like choking and it might actually be the worst experience in her life. Cough Cough. Choke. Choke. Sputter. Sputter. Gag. Gag. Scream (enter not-so cute mad face as though she's saying "oh my god, I'm going to die").
Step 3: Acceptance
And finally, she has learned that coughing, too, shall pass. Cough Cough. Choke. Choke. Sputter. Sputter. (skip the gag) Breathe. Breathe (enter a look on her face that says "I'll get you back for this one, world!"). Continue.
