A friend of ours {Alekzander's} had a Transformers/Autobots party today.
Alekzander doesn't know anything about the Transformers nor do I.
{Poor kid leads such a deprived life!}
He was pretty excited about the pinata though and gave it a few good whacks.
The party favor was a bag of yummy Autobot parts ...
like a Rice Krispie treat, giant and small marshmallows,
M&Ms, smarties, pretzel rods, and gummy worms.
Blindly we attempted to make a car-type thing.
According to Alekzander's standards, we did a pretty good job.
About an hour later, we knew we needed to have a good dinner
to detox after eating sweets at the party.
Dark greens salad, fresh mozzarella and tomato with balsamic and homegrown basil,
turkey burgers on a pretzel roll for me and Andrew,
and a ham and mozzarella sandwich for Alekzander.
Alekzander has been in to "dips" lately.
Last night's dip was home-infused rosemary olive oil.
Tonight's dip was balsamic vinegar with rosemary oil.
All elements of his sandwich were dipped,
then came the pepper slices, tomatoes, and carrots.
On his own, Alekzander decided to build a Transformer
with the remaining components of his dinner.
Daddy made it "rain" more dip ... and then the whole tower was devoured.
{We then got to talk about the meaning of "transform"
because I told him his food would be transformed into energy ...
and what little boy doesn't want MORE energy when channeled appropriately!}
We LOVE that he has such a strange an advanced palate for a three year old.
Not many others would refuse to eat pizza at a party and then come home
and eat a plate full of veggies, mozzarella, and balsamic "dip".
Or admit that blueberries are better than candy.
I hope his eating habits don't transform anytime soon.
