Evangeline has a particular love of certain things. Hey we all do...right?
She was never one for putting non food items in her mouth, which as a parent I am thankful for. I have seen kids eat all kinds of things. Recently heard one about a child eating Christmas ornaments. Play dough, dirt, poop (yuck), plastic bits, paper bits, beads, coins and well you get the idea.
Evangeline doesn't eat these things...oh no far to boring and mundane. She, other than her ketchup obsession, has one more off the freaking wall taste and from the stories I've heard she gets it from her father.
Baby girl loves onions. Really loves onions. When I start cutting an onion she comes running and asks for pieces of it. She will stand there and eat and eat and eat them. One day I was cutting up a strong onion REALLY strong onion.
As usual she came into the kitchen and asked for a piece. So I gave it to her, after a few more pieces Adam and I noticed something funny. Evangeline was wiping tears from her eyes, we giggled a little and washed her hands off. Almost immediately she asked for more, this time she dragged a chair over to the counter and proceeded to help herself, all the while her eyes and nose began to run.
Now we were really laughing as of course she was completely confused as to why her face was leaking so suddenly. Even as she began to get upset about the mess streaming down her face she continued to shovel onion into her mouth. Protested when we tried to remove her.
Once removed and washed up, she did approach the counter with a bit more caution. She took another piece and *tada* 3rd time is the charm learned what was making her cry.
Guess who got blamed? Mommy did. I got a butt chewing for the condition of a vegetable I can't help.
Whatever kid, get back on your tricycle and move along now. :)
