Roman was playing with mandarins at the kitchen table. He was lining them up, making a snake etc. I gave him some toothpicks. He made creatures and asked me to put some faces on them: happy, sad, angry and scary I believe was the 4th one. Not sure. He was occupied for 30 minutes poking the poor fruit. He said that one of them was an octopus, another shooting rocket monster. He had so much fun. We ended up eating the oozing juice fruit.
Today was a letter Z at preschool. We had to find a picture of a noun that started with that letter in a magazine. I was desperate to find zebra, zoo or zipper. No luck, but we were able to find zucchini. By the time Roman got to school he couldn't remember what the picture was of. I told him again that it was called zucchini. This evening when I asked him what he wanted to eat since he was hungry(he just had soup, but didn't want to go to sleep). He said cereal. That is his favorite food that he wants to eat 3-4 times a day. Trying to be responsible parents we want some variety in his diet and told him that it's a breakfast food, therefor it's only for breakfast. It doesn't always work. My point is, that when I asked him again and gave him choices of: chicken, eggs, more soup...excitingly he said:"How about zucchini!!!" Wow, great memory, he only heard that word twice today. I wish I had some at home to give to him. Maybe next year we can grow some in our new garden.
