If there’s one thing we just discovered, it’s that Fighter LOVES ice-cream. LOVES. The first time we gave him ice-cream was when he was seated in his car seat in the car. I was having an ice-cream and he put out his hand to to signal that he wanted some.
I turned to Shorty and asked if she thought it was okay and she nodded. So I let him have a taste. He opened his mouth as wide as he could and bit some off with his gums. Then he started smacking his lips for a while and he paused.Right that moment I could see it in his eyes. His life has changed forever.
He immediately insisted for more and so I gave him a bit more until it was completely finished. There was nothing left but the ice-cream stick. He then kicked up a fuss as if still not understanding that many things in life are finite. There is such a thing as “finished”. Still.. in spite of us trying to explain it all to him, he kept crying.
Every time we had ice-cream from that day on he would insist on some. Just last night Shorty bought herself some ice-cream and when Fighter saw it, he insisted on having some himself. We took a video of it here.
What we thought was funny was that this was the first time he would actually shiver after swallowing each bite.
Shorty says that Fighter got his love for ice-cream from me (yes I love ice-cream) but I’d like to think that all kids love ice-cream right?
