Somehow she had managed to find a protective plastic mat for the floor that matched the curtains as well. The mat was designed to catch drips and spills from messy eaters and extended a full two feet out from the sides and front of the high chair. A few feet away from the high chair was an adult chair sitting next to the wall. Andrew imagined that Krystyn used it to sit on while she fed her charges.
When she returned, she had a jar and spoon in one hand and a bit of terrycloth in the other. She set the jar and spoon on the adult chair, then came over and tied the terrycloth around his neck. When Andrew looked down and saw the unadorned white terrycloth fabric beneath his chin, he recognized what it was; she had put an infant’s feeding bib on him!
