Long noodles

I introduced Stella to long noodles the other day. They are now her favorite noodle variety. Since she doesn't care for pasta sauce, they require a significant amount of butter to lubricate them for the suck-in maneuver. The first few times she tried this I am certain the noodle went down her throat in one long piece because she would laugh and say it felt funny while holding her throat. I've convinced her it is best to gather the entire noodle in her mouth before swallowing, cutting down on any potential choking or gagging incidents. It's a new adventure every day around here.
