Favorites

Alanna has reached the point where she's starting to be able to express which things are her favorites. It turns out she has expensive taste.

In searching for a babysitter, Alanna decided that she liked the one from the furthest away who had the highest hourly rate. Don't get me wrong, I really also like the sitter that we've chosen to use from time to time for those night outs, but it speaks to Alanna's taste.

Then, on Oscar night we had decided to treat ourselves to curbside to go from wherever we wanted. I ended up getting Prime Rib. Turns out Alanna LOVES prime rib. She literally ate about half of my 10oz steak that night.

So when we went to Timberlodge Steakhouse about two weeks back, we decided that we would just order her a dinner salad and I'd order a 14oz prime rib and split it with her. She easily gobbled down at least a third of my steak saying "yummmmmmm" the entire time.

For some reason last night during the car ride home, she was talking about Timberlodge and how they have apples in a basket next to a fireplace in the waiting area. I asked if she remembered what she had for dinner that night and she told me yes! This is what followed:

Mommy: "Alanna, what's your favorite food?"
Alanna: "COW!"
