Happy Child

Baby loves steak, mashed potatoes, tortillas, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, cranberry juice, water, waffles, chocolate-chip cookies, chicken, and tofu. And yet, sometimes, it seems as if there is no food she likes. What that means, of course, is that she is a child – and that we probably won’t be able to control her appetite and, beyond modeling positive eating habits, probably shouldn’t even try. Tonight, she charmed a goodly number of strangers at Carrabba’s Italian Grill. The question we get nearly every time we’re in public with our bundle of joy: “Is she always this happy?” She can (and does) cry, we say and does sometimes express her will rather vehemently, but she pretty much always is this happy.
