Binny on The Road to DaMACscus
Yesterday after Finn got up from his morning nap, he was very focused on obtaining one thing, and one thing only: "Maca!" (macaroni and cheese) He started saying it the minute he got up, and kept saying it as we walked into the kitchen for our post-nap snack. I figured we'd dispense with mere snacking and go all the way to an early lunch, complete with Maca.
As I put Finn into his hopper and started boiling the water, measuring out the milk, etc., I was explaining to him that the Maca was coming soon. He was watching with some interest as I drained, dumped, and stirred.
Once the macaroni & cheese was made, I spooned some into a bowl for him, turned around, and said "Here it is!". The sight of the piping hot Maca knocked our boy right off his horse! "Binny" became "Finny" as the scales fell from his eyes, and he exclaimed breathlessly and excitedly, "MACAAAAA!". It was as if he had witnessed a miracle, and he was smiling from ear to ear.
