Hug Twice

CJ had chicken nuggets for lunch today. That in itself is nothing surprising. We cut his nuggets up into pieces, because I am neurotic mommy, and he doesn’t bite them, just shoves the whole thing in his mouth if they aren’t cut. So his nuggets were cut in quarters on his plate.

After a while he decided he was done and left the table without cleaning up his plate (again not a surprise). The surprise came next. Alexa climbed up into his chair, picked up a chicken nugget quarter, and after wiping off the barbeque sauce, stuck it in her mouth.

And what seems so small to me for CJ (the nugget quarters) seemed so big to me for Alexa. I held my breath and watched her chew, and chew, and chew, and eventually peeked in her mouth and was happy to see that the chicken pieces in there were pretty pulverized.

That was all she ate, I guess one quarter was enough. Or maybe she wasn’t fond of the barbeque sauce. She was really funny about that. She wiped the sauce onto her other hand, and then wiped her hand on the chair. It was cute. She’s so particular.

And I guess I’ll have to add chicken nuggets to her menu. At least that isn’t all she eats… unlike a certain little boy… she happily had green beans, flounder, and salad for dinner. CJ… didn’t.
