Interesting Tastes

Aydan is a strange little child. Anyone that knows him knows that he is his own man. He does things in his own way, in his own time. Take potty training for instance, we have been trying to potty train Aydan for some time with no success. We would ask him "do you want to wear diapers or underwear" and of course he would say diapers. Why we would ask, just because I want to was his reply. And no matter how much we bribed him, legos, cars, candy, money, a trip to the toy store he would not be convinced. If Aydan does not want to do it, he will not do it. Peer pressure does not work with this child. So finally this past week me and Aydan traded his diapers for a car. We gathered all his diapers together put them in a sack and he threw them in the garbage. And that was that. Aydan has only had 2 accidents and the first of the week and none for 3 days. He now just runs into the bathroom and pees or poos on his own, we don't even have to remind him anymore. Once Aydan decided he wanted to do it, he did, as easy as that. And if you know us you know we have been stressing over potty training for awhile and it turned out if we were just patient, Aydan would tell us when he is ready.

Another thing that is interesting about Aydan is his eating habits. For a 3 year old he is a great eater. He has his moments, but for the most part he eats really well. But he does enjoy interesting things that most children would not eat. His favorite foods are avocados, artichokes (he actually eats the leafs), watermelon, salad with Nony's dressing, pea pods and corn on the cob, mini wheat ceral and Crackin Oat Bran (mom's ceral as he like to call it). The other night he ate a whole artichoke by himself, and two ears of corn. During the summer he picked his own peas and ate a ton everyday. The thing I don't understand is that he does not like strawberries, peaches and most fruit. How could you like vegatables but not fruit? Oh how I love my crazy boy!!
