A Confession…

Yesterday, when I told you that Josiah won’t each much of anything, I mis-spoke. Because there is one thing he really does love to eat: butter. So what I should have said is, “won’t eat much of anything except butter”.

Preferably in stick form, and preferably slightly soft, like after Mommy has left it on the counter for a couple of hours to make it easier to use in the baking of cookies. Or even better, with wrapper off, and beautifully presented on a plate on the table, because it was supposed to be used as a spread for the dinner bread.

I have caught that sweet child of mine twice in the last three days hungrily gobbling up the better part of a whole stick of butter. So strange…

    Now, let’s face it, butter is one God’s greatest gifts to the palate — right up there with bacon — but there’s a time and a place for everything. The place is usually on some sort of complex carbohydrate, rather than on the tips of one’s greasy fingers… but can you blame them for their exuberance?
