Three-year old Vivian met us for breakfast this morning. She came along with her grandparents "Papa and Mimi" (also known as our friends Dick and Carole).
Vivian decided that she would have a blueberry muffin and scrambled eggs. She got chocolate milk, too.
When our food came, Mimi helped Vivian put butter on the muffin. The muffin was already sliced into three sections, and Vivian painstakingly spread the butter over each slice.
I believe she ate no more than a small bite or two of the muffin.
Do you know those little jelly containers that are stacked up in breakfast places? The ones that kids usually like to play with? Well, Vivian decided she wanted to eat some of that jelly.
So Mimi opened the little container and Vivian managed to spoon the jelly out of it. And she did actually eat it.
But wouldn't the jelly taste good on Mimi's toast? So Mimi sacrificed a piece of her toast. And we all watched as Vivian proceeded to lick the jelly off -- without eating the toast.
As we were getting ready to leave, I remarked, "Vivian, you didn't eat very much of your breakfast!" Vivian announced that she now wanted to eat her eggs. (Remember, we were getting ready to leave!) She did take a few bites before she decided that she was really done.
Next time Vivian comes to breakfast, I think that all she should order is her chocolate milk. She can just eat the jelly that's already on the table! :)
