Ick?

Ick is the new term in our house. Fitting, when you realize that my son tries to eat everything. Pine needles that are still littering my house after the tree fiasco? Eddie will run them to you shaking his head no and saying ick while pushing out his tounge. Thanks, bud. Glad to know pine needles aren't a toddler dessert. Also, where the hell are you finding thse things? Some secret stash somewhere to give me flashbacks? PINE NEEDLES GIVE ME AN ANXIETY ATTACK.

Just throwing that out there.

Ick is now being applied to dinner, which means that my once eat-anything-and-everything son will now spit out his food. Totally uncommon in our house. Eddie has been such a great eater that honestly, I don't really know how to handle this one. He will be happily eating his dinner, when all of the sudden he throws on the ick face and spits it all out. Last night he did this after eating about half of this pasta with meat sauce. Today he did this while eating his lunch. AND GUESS WHAT? He starts pointing at what I'm eating and begins happily munching that down instead of his lunch. The irony?

I was eating the pasta and meat sauce from last night.


COME ON, KID! Obviously it isn't a taste issue then, right? Maybe some new from of frustrating mommy and daddy? A new way to show his control? I have no idea. At least his love of eating the pasta this afternoon shows that he hasn't just gotten a new adversion to mommy's cooking :)
