ice cream

The other day Jonah tried ice cream, well gelato to be more specific, for the first time. We generally don't give him any sugary foods. Just fig bars, raisins, fruit and juice with no extra sweeteners. He likes all of that of course. So, I thought he would go wild for ice cream. Suprisingly, he was more excited about the scooping action than the ice cream itself. The gelato came in colorful cups with little plastic shovels. Jonah enjoyed about five spoonfulls and then was done. I was very happy about that! Now he knows what ice cream is. Several books he has mention it. He likes to reminisce about us having it together, but doesn't beg for it. Good deal.
