Chicken and Grumblings

A person learns many, many things when they hang out with a three year old for a while. Over the weekend, A and I hung out together while my wife took C to a friend's birthday party. A spent about an hour cutting out little scraps of construction paper and gluing them to another sheet of paper. After a while, she told me that she had made a scarecrow. It was a pretty decent scarecrow, all things considered. I told her that it looked very nice. She picked up her scissors and began mowing through some more paper. I asked what she was doing. She said she was making food for the scarecrow. I asked her what scarecrows like to eat.

"Tacos."


A has never been a particularly good eater. It's almost always a struggle to get a couple bites of dinner into her. Yesterday was an exception. She asked for a second helping of grumblings. Yup, chicken and grumblings. One of my favorites, too.

  • It's really touch and go with her. I think it really depends on how much she's growing at that exact moment. She'll go two weeks on a spoonful per meal, then sit down and eat half a beef in one setting. But she doesn't really have favorites. We've been fooled into stocking up on something she would eat really well once or twice, only to find out that she won't touch it the third time.
