This week Nick has engaged with three new foods:
- Guacamole. Tastes good and ever so fun to eat. Hours of pleasure standing at the coffee table with a single chip shuttling small globs of guac into your mouth. We have not yet imposed a no double-dipping rule on him. Don’t want to kill the spirit of adventure.
- Capers. Smally and salty. What more could an eighteen month old boy want?
- Lettuce. Is it food? It’s certainly intriguing. Unfortunately right now, “eating” lettuce means depositing a leaf temporarily in your mouth, sucking off the dressing and spitting out the resulting slime. We hope for more civilized salad eating sometime soon.
He’ll be a gastrokid yet.
You mean YOU don’t suck of the dressing and spit out the slime? I don’t know any other way of eating lettuce! Sheesh.
