Too darn hot
A scene from lunch today:
Lauren is eating leftover Chinese food out of the carton. The dish is eggplant in a rather spicy sauce. Anya notices.
Anya: I want some rice.
Lauren: This isn’t rice. It’s eggplant.
Anya: I want some eggplant. Please.
Lauren: I’m not sure that you will like it. It’s very spicy.
Anya: I want a little bit. You should share with me.
Lauren: Okay, you can have a taste.
Lauren cuts a small piece and gives it to Anya. Anya gobbles it up, pauses, then takes a huge swig of her milk.
Anya: More!
Lauren: Did you like it?
Anya: MORE!
Lauren agrees to share a little more of her lunch with Anya, with the reminder that this is actually MOMMY’S lunch. Anya takes a few more bites, each one followed by enormous gulps of milk.
Anya: My mouth is VERY hot. [Big drink of milk]. MORE!

Cute! Daisy loves spicy or strong flavors too. And hey, now you know how to get her to eat more veggies!

Anya’s come a long way when it comes to eating! She also likes flavorful food, and she’s pretty good with veggies overall. She enjoys eggplant Parmesan, so I wasn’t surprised that she wanted my lunch, but I didn’t know she liked spicy foods so much. The other day I was eating pineapple dipped in Tabasco sauce, and she couldn’t get enough. She’s just like her mom!
