he knows what he wants

I came home from work. HotMomma was lounging on the sofa and Z-Dub was parked in front of the television and watching Go Diego Go! The Fetus was making HotMomma not feel well, so she didn't have an opportunity to prepare dinner. We discussed some options for take out, but accomplished little as we each had different cravings.

I thought I'd try for a tie breaker. I went over to Z-Dub and asked," Z-Dub, what do want for dinner?" Of course with his attention focused on Spanglish education, I had to repeat myself, "Z-Dub, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" He turned to me and replied "chocolate." No surprise. He was recently introduced to it and now it's all he wants.

In addition to his chocolate obsession, he's discovered some other new foods lately. The most unusual one was calamari. Yep, our two-year-old loves fried squid. He's also been snacking on edamame (soy beans). It's a healthy snack. He views it as an eating project because he's got to work to get the beans out of the pod. They're like tasty rewards for the effort.

We absolutely love the fact that Z-Dub will eat just about anything. A lot of kids his age are quite picky eaters.
