Sweet and Sour Toddler

Last night, I made Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-Fry for dinner.  I love sweet and sour and chicken but I rarely make it because it has never has been a favorite of my husband’s.  However, last night I had a hankering for it.  It contained chicken, pineapple, broccoli, carrots and celery, with celery being an undesirable food with my 2.5 year old.

I did not tell her what was in her dish but she spotted the celery very readily and immediately began to pick out the pieces and placed it on my husband’s plate. While she was picking them out, she was eating the other items that she did like.  And then it happened….

She accidentally ate a piece of celery! Suddenly she reached back over to my husband’s plate, grabbed all of the celery that she had given him, put them back on her plate and  then proceeded to finish her dinner, including the celery!

I guess that she discovered that she does like cooked celery!!!
