Terrifying, and she likes Chinese food. Check out the plates below. Both were served fairly equal portions of food - green bean casserole (we're getting ready for Thanksgiving!) and rice with beef, shitake mushrooms and Korean seaweed. (It's based on a soup my good friend from Korea taught me.) One plate was served to my rice-scarfing BBJ. The other was served to her blond-haired, blue-eyed, two year old Cousin E (whose current "acceptable food" list involves milk, chicken nuggets and oranges....and that's about it.)Whose plate is whose?
(Thanksgiving should be interesting - eating one green bean nearly reduced my sweet niece to tears! Cousin E did manage to eat nearly 1/4 cup of cooked rice. Sweetie, you're going to be STARVING tonight!)
Oh, and BBJ found the joys of a fork today. Sweet Potatoes were one of our Gotta Have Its when she was smaller...and then moved into the realm of I Could Care Less'. With a fork, old things are new again. Everything's better skewered on a stick, right? Even bananas are disappearing, lickity split!
(And yeah, she can say "Uh-Oh". She can also say Uh-huh, No, Maau (the chinese word for cat), nai nai (the Chinese word for milk), Dao! (BBJ for Boo!) and Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm (BBJ for I'm-hungry-mother-feed-me!). She can say DaDa (which she says every time she finds a phone...or a remote control...or a banana.) And I'm "nun." Go figure!
Wow...BBJ really IS terrifying. Ernie was right all along! :o)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess she'll be pretty hungry in the morning. Maybe she got her fill of green beans last night at dinner- they were her favorite part, unless you count the tofu. No accounting for taste with toddlers, eh?
