What "eating" with a G-tube looks like

I am a very curious person. I am not curious in the same way Curious George is curious - I know this because I have been a frequent student of his cartoons recently, thanks to Mr Boy.  Curious George goes after all possible ways to satisfy his curiosity, whereas I often choose to keep my questions to myself. Well, if I were you, I'd be wondering what it looks like to feed Mr Boy through his feeding tube. I'd also choose not to ask me such a thing for fear of offending me (which is silly, because you would not offend me, but lets be honest, sometimes we are silly). So, in order to satisfy any of your lingering curiosities, and since I figure this is something he wouldn't mind you seeing, I'll show you.  Whether you care of not, here it is. :) 

Mr Boy licks all the salt off his crackers before placing them in his discard pile, during his "snack"

The boy can lick through a sleeve of crackers in minutes.

Licking the flavor off cheetos, crackers, and cookies during "lunch"

I lay him down to push the food I blended up, into his G-tube.

Using a syringe to push the blended meal directly into Mr Boy's stomach. 

I give him one of these 20 times a day on average, to give both water and food.

He is typically very patient with me as it only takes a few seconds. 

Sometimes if I make certain meltable foods into small enough peices (such as a mini 3Musketeer bar), Mr Boy will actually swallow them, but there's about a 75% chance it's coming back out of his mouth. Mr Boy is chewing some things now, which is a great improvement the past few months since he used to just hold things in his mouth without actually moving his teeth. Now he chews things up before gently taking them out and putting them back on the table.
