Adventures of a young foodie

I am yet again amazed at L's willingness to try foods. Today, while grocery shopping, he wanted to "do" and to help, so I let him hold the baby portabello mushrooms, while I continued checking things off our list. Only when I looked back, he had pulled back the cellophane wrapper and was chowing down on the sliced mushrooms! Then when we got him, and we were unloading all the groceries, with his help of course, he yoinked a tangerine out of the fridge and starting eating it whole, peel and all. This all in a week when he didn't blink when I gave him garlicky pesto doused gnocchi and demanded more and more and more roasted carrots. Also his new fun food habit is to "DUNK" everything. He particularly loves to dunk his bagel or pancake into his yogurt in the morning, but he also will dunk his chicken in his soy milk or water if given the opportunity!
