For Sunday supper, I made whole wheat waffles with strawberries (from the freezer) and whipped cream, something I do from time to time when I don’t feel like cooking a “real” meal. I was sure it would be a hit with the girls – they both like waffles. Sophie eats off the cream, requests more cream, and refuses to eat anything else. That was no big surprise, after all, a three year old knows what’s good, and she has previously done the same thing. But the weird part was after she pushed her plate away and left the table she came in the kitchen and grabbed a plain waffle off of the cooling rack. Calling it a “square” she then ate most of it. Go figure. I think plain waffles are rather unappetizing, and am surprised she would choose that over the cream and strawberry-soaked one on her plate.
At the tender age of twelve months, Kate also figured out the whipped cream was the only good part. She picked it off, and resisted all my attempts to get anything else in her mouth. She was so cranky we got her out of her chair and put her in her pjs. Convinced she had to be still hungry, I made Jeryl hold her while I fed her bits of grapes and . . . you guessed it . . . plain waffle, which she was happy to eat. What is wrong with these kids?
