Top Down

Because Evan is a semi-typical two-year-old, he has semi-typical weird eating habits. One of these, however, we've come to describe as "uniquely Evan." He has a tendency to eat foods starting with whatever's on top. Now, I'm sure there's not a toddler around who doesn't eat cupcakes by doing a face-plant into the frosting at the first bite. Heck, even Nathan still does that. But Evan eats lots of foods this way: waffles, peanut butter toast, English muffins, pizza, and even tacos. It looks kind of funny and is not a particularly efficient or neat way of eating, but since when did toddlers care about efficiency or neatness? Their lives kind of revolve around putting objects in inappropriate orifices and throwing stuff. But when you think about it, the top-down thing isn't really a bad idea. It kind of goes along with the "eat-your-dessert-first" philosophy in life. Desserts, like tomorrows, aren't something to be taken for granted. So, I think there might be something to his top-down method. After all, the best stuff is usually on the top.

Oh. Before I forget. It still works best with fudgesicles.
