Work Text:
When Patrick went into his little headspace, he never really mentioned wanting anything that was typically for infants, aside from the pacifiers and on very rare occasion, a baby bottle.
Pete knew this, and didn't test Patrick on that unless he ever asked for it. He figures, as long as Patrick was happy doing what he needed during his 'Little' time, Pete was completely happy taking care of him in that time.
So when Patrick mentioned briefly one night of his wish to try legitimate baby food, Pete was a little shocked and maybe he should've seen it coming, but he didn't and there they were.
"Like, the real thing? Food like Bronx goes down on?" Pete nearly sputters, looking at Patrick with. and uncertain expression.
"I just wanna try it once Pete, oh my god." Patrick sighs, sending Pete a glare from across the sofa.
Pete sighs and mulls over the suggestion for what seems like forever, and Patrick very nearly decides to back out of the idea before Pete nods. "Sure, okay. I guess we'll give it a good shot. Just not like, today?"
"I was thinking something along the lines of next weekend? There'll be time for me to decompress anyways, cause this upcoming week is going to be a pain in the ass." Patrick grimaces to himself, then looking back to Pete, who's nodding in agreement.

So maybe choosing a vegetable wasn't he smartest idea in terms of baby food for Patrick's first time. Pete doesn't entirely realize this until it's kinda half on his chest and half on the floor.
Maybe Patrick didn't quite realize that maybe baby food was meant for actual infants. Infants probably didn't know what flaming hot Cheetos tasted like anyways. So it was completely just for him to throw the food, at least he thought so.
"Yeah, definitely sticking to the chicken nuggets and Spaghetti - O's from now on, Trick. " Pete half groans to himself as he sheds his carrot-stained Back To The Future T-shirt and deposited it on the counter behind him.
"That was really really yucky, Daddy! "Patrick sticks his tongue out as he reaches for his sippy cup and desperately drinks the juice from it.
"I know, baby. I won't bestow that torture on you again. " Pete agrees, tasting a finger of it,nearly gagging.
"Never 'gain!" Patrick puts down his cup to giggle, then muffling it when he moves his hand to cover his mouth.
