New Favorite Food

Reese has gotten a little more adventurous in her eating lately. With her daytime schedule shifted later thanks to DST, she now eats later and can eat with Mommy and Daddy more regularly. (It was really hard for Daddy to make it home by 5:30 for dinner on Reese's previous schedule.) Thankfully this not only means more Daddy time before bed, but that Mommy doesn't have to cook twice each night--once to feed Reese and once to feed the parents. Reese has taken a shine to most main dishes we've served, although veggies are still touch and go most nights. Fruit, however, never fails. An interesting development is Reese's new love for sushi. Mommy and Daddy had some one day for lunch and thinking she'd hate it, we still let her try when she asked. We couldn't have missed the mark more. Reese adores sushi.

Now, before people freak out too much, let me explain that we have only let her try sushi rolls--and all the meat she's consumed has been cooked shrimp or crab. (Although we'll probably graduate to raw fish at a reputable restaurant some time if her interest keeps up.)

She loves the rice and seaweed paper, and we have to be careful to cut the roll slices in half, because she eagerly tries to shove giant pieces in her mouth. Right now, it's actually a much bigger hit than chicken nuggets or anything else. She sees it at our HEB and asks for it on almost every trip. For now, it's a slam dunk meal. If only it's weren't so expensive.
