MMM McDonalds!

While Paige filled in for me at work, Jack and I ventured out to get some lunch. Lunch out with Jack is pretty painless. Just find a place that serves food that goes well with ketchup and you are good to go.

Lately Jack has started to pay attention to where we are going. For instance, when we pass the church he recognizes it as school. When he sees Franklin Cruise, he knows that he will get to play with some toys and climb the stairs. When he saw McDonald's he knew he was getting food.

By the time the picture below was taken, Jack had already plowed through 4 chicken nuggets and several french fries. His main drive being the ketchup not the actual food. I decided that he had had enough to eat and that I would eat my cheeseburger. When I unwrapped it, Jack exclaimed "Wow, MMMMM, good, good!" and two little ketchup covered hands reached out to grab it and cram it in his mouth. Watching him, his face seemed to say, "If only my mouth was bigger, if only I had more teeth."

He actually didn't eat that much of the burger but he acted like we never feed him anything. In the words of Sally Frame, "French fries are just a vehicle for ketchup." Jack couldn't have said it better if he could talk.

Happy Friday
