He pummeled the air. "Yay! Yay! Yay!" he hollered between each bite while his little fists flew around his head. He hummed with his eyes shut as he chewed. He rocked back and forth singing yes.
As I spread the Ranch on the bread I heard, "Dip Dip?" The question held hope, delight and wonder. Ranch on bread? "These are a few of my favorite things!" Then when he saw the meat the breathless awe of "meat, dip dip?" made me realize perhaps lunch has not been varied enough.
I thought that Abe's initial expression of wonder would end as he continued to eat his lunch. However I was mistaken! Abe proceeded to do a dance over and over and over again with each bite. There was no whining for more Ranch, or not finishing all that was on his plate, or begging for apple juice instead an expressive full body wiggle of joy with each bite. I just laughed and laughed and laughed and so did Zana as we watched Abe eat and enjoy.
I guess that will be a repeater for tomorrow.
