Saying goodbye to bite-size pieces.
Lately Greyson has been showing aversion to the way his dinner is artfully cut up into bite size, easy to swallow, non-choking hazard sized bites on his plate, and rather happy with the prospect of having a complete burger, hot dog, slice of pizza, chicken leg, steak, fully dressed turkey – you name it on his plate, with his own utensils and the free range to eat as an adult. It’s something that has taken some getting used to from my mommy perspective. I’m not sure if it’s just the habit of preparing bite size pieces, the thought that he’s too young to have his plate resembles his daddy’s or just my hope that he stays a baby forever, but last night as I watched my son devour a taco – yes a fully prepared taco I was amazed, proud, scared half to death, and a bit tickled!! The kid comes by it naturally as both his daddy and I love Mexican fare, but a taco – seriously??
Enjoy the pictures of the boy and his first “real” taco – he got it all down with hardly any mess!!
