Yesterday afternoon I was trying to distract Zach from something he wanted to do, so I reminded him that we were going to the Chinese restaurant for dinner.
What are you going to order, Zach, those steamed dumplings you always get?
Yeah, and rice.
MMMM that sounds good
And what are those orange, moon shaped things?
hhhhmmmm, I guess you and daddy will have to talk to the lady who runs the restaurant to see if they know what you want (sometimes he remembers stuff he ate while living in China, that's how he started eating dumplings, they figured out that was what he wanted after he described it to the lady who owns the restaurant.)
No, no. Never mind, I don't want that.
So we go to the restuarant, order his dumplings and rice. I then look at the menu trying to see what I want (you mommies know that you get the kids set, and THEN can figure out what you want) and Zach got really excited.
I want THAT!!! (pointing at a picture on the menu)
OH, shrimp. Yep, orange and moon shaped. He had talked about eating shrimp a couple of weeks ago when he saw a Red Lobster comercial on TV, telling us he likes those.
Cancell the dumplings, order the shrimp. And because the owners of the restaurant like Zach (he's so cute, who doesn't like him?), they gave him a bag of Chinese Almond cookies for his birthday. He was a very happy camper on his birthday.
