I have this little son Oliver...

He is small and very funny.

This is a hard job. Oliver is a very fussy eater. And Oliver loves tomatoes. :)

Except Oliver must have a refined, aged balsamic vinegar drizzled ever so lightly onto his tomatoes. Let me be clear, he prefers a vinegar to a vinaigrette. Each bite must have a tad bit of red onion, a tear of basil leaf and a small nugget of mild blue cheese.

And then it really must be organic.

Oliver has discerning tastes.

Can't say I blame him.

And he's still the sweetest, kindest, most loving little boy I know. Thank you God for the best gift ever.

He will be 6 next month. How did he get from a little baby...

Oliver and mommy :)

... to this?

  1. That sounds like fussy eater in a GOOD way!

    One time we went to a restaurant and my youngest daughter, probably around 8 years old at the time, ordered a salad. The waitress asked her what salad dressing she would like, and she said, "I'll have Northern Italian with Basil and Romano" which is a bottled dressing we have here at home. She was a bit put out that the restaurant didn't have that dressing.
