No one has ever accused Alexa of being picky, but last night she definitely proved that she is a great eater. Earlier in the week I made plans to have dinner with a friend, and my original thought was that Alexa could spend the night with Mimi and Pop. Then Thursday night Mimi and I ended up going to the movies, so by Friday I felt like I hadn't seen her at all. Even though I brought her home on Thursday I didn't have any time to play with her before bedtime. So, instead of sending her off to Mimi's last night, I just took her with me. It was her first sushi experience, and she LOVED it!How many almost 3 year old do you know (outside of Japan) who can effectively use chopsticks? She ate 2 pieces of the California roll I got...I was trying to keep her first experience simple, and while this isn't my fave roll, it's about as basic as it gets. The other roll I got had caviar on top, and she ate every single bit of that...I maybe had 1, but probably only b/c she didn't see me get it. We had a great time, and I think it is safe to say that Alexa is a sushi fan...can't wait to take her back for something a little more exotic!

Notice she didn't have any help, and they are not the kids chopsticksheld together with a rubber band!

Makes me smile - both from the fact that she liked the sushi (of course, what doesn't she like) and especially from using the chopsticks....makes me realize the need to work on my skills :)
like mama, like girlie! love you both!
you see, now I remember why I didn't post a comment!! because I don't like the pictures...nope...not one bit! She lookes entirely too old for her britches...what happened to baby bean???? I guess she is kind of cute ;) okay...she is. I love that she is so smart and figured out how to use the chopsticks so quickly, but really....its Alexa, were you THAT surprised??
