Food for Thought

Nicholas has some interesting tastes when it comes to food.  He likes some of the toddler "standards" -- chicken nuggets, french fries, graham crackers -- but also has exhibited a tendency to have a few grown-up tastes.  He prefers pasta with tomato sauce (homemade, usually) to mac-and-cheese, and loves exotic fruits likes peaches and mangoes.  Okay, peaches aren't that exotic, but to eat them fresh as a whole peach?

Anyway, I was thinking about this because last night Nicholas ate some of his macaroni and cheese out of apparent duty.  But he scarfed down in about ten seconds the zucchini I sauteed with oregano and thyme.  He also wolfed down a bunch of garden-fresh tomato (thank you, Grandpa Dan and Grandma Kathleen!).

I'm taking this as a good sign that he has a little bit more of my palate than Sarah's, but we'll have to see when we get to mushrooms, fish, and pork.
