Fruit, shoes, flatbread and pizza..

I'll post some progress later, but right now I wanted to take a minute to share some short and amusing stories from this weekend.

On Saturday, we were packing up to go out shopping. So I picked up two pairs of Ella's shoes, and asked her "which pair of shoes do you want". She pointed to the pair in my left hand, then signed "pear", "shoes". Very cute, but it raises the question, how do you teach a toddler about homonyms? :-)

On Sunday, we went out to lunch, trying the new Cosi restaurant here. They didn't have Ella's staple chicken on the menu, so we tried ordering her pizza. She would not touch the pizza, but my meal came with a side of a dense, chewy, whole-grain flatbread. That she ate. Even more strange for a child that rarely bites chunks off larger foods, she actually ate it by biting chunks off the big piece.

Just goes to show, there's no predicting what might appeal to a toddler.
