Micah, for the longest time, would not eat any other kind of ice cream but vanilla. He doesn't want anything on it - no nuts, no fruit, and no chocolate syrup. Noah, on the other hand, is not picky about most sweets, and if he's having ice cream, he wants it with chocolate syrup. He has discovered its wonderfulness a long time ago.
On weekends, the boys are allowed to have sweets. Ice cream is one of their favorites. So, Micah and Noah got ice cream. Josiah passed - he wanted popcorn. Micah dipped his finger in Noah's chocolate syrup, came over to me, and asked, "Mama, is dis chokwet sywup?"
"Yes," I replied. He licked it. His face lit up.
"I need chokwet sywup!" he exclaimed.
"Are you sure?" I asked. "You want it in your ice cream?" I couldn't believe he actually wanted the stuff.
"Yes! Yes! I NEED chokwet sywup!"
I poured a little bit on a spoonful of ice cream. "Here, I'll just put a little bit on here and you can taste it. If you want more, you can have more."
He was getting frustrated, but he had the spoonful. "I wike it," he said. His hands were impatiently signaling me to pour it on. He got to work eating it right away.
So Micah got his first bowl of ice cream and chocolate syrup, and ate it faster than Noah. I can't wait 'till he discovers some yummy vegetables.
