More Jalapenos please!
So I'm watching my husband and almost 2 yr old daughter sit and eat nachos. It is a family favorite as far as snacking goes. A plate of chips, some cheese, and then some jalapenos on the side for anyone who doesn't care for the spicy flavor (or who can't handle it).
Nathan had been putting a jalapeno on each chip he removed from the plate. Jocelyn noticed she was missing out on something that was food....and protested loudly! Nathan told her "no, these are spicy, hot". She says hot and blows on them. And that was that.
OR SO WE THOUGHT. Nathan stopped paying as much attention (we were watching a live Ustream show) and he sat the little container with jalapenos in them down on the floor. Jocelyn realizing this was her perfect opportunity to grab a bite quickly snatched one up and popped it in her mouth.
Nathan and I saw her doing it, but had no way to stop her in time. We knew she would freak out once that spicy flavor hit her tongue and throat. Here's what happened.
Jocelyn had some tears coming down her cheeks. It was clearly spicy. She didn't take it out of her mouth though, she finished chewing it up and swallowed. Then declared she wanted MORE! So she ate another 3 or 4 jalapenos with Nathan. Each time you could tell it was spicy, but she loved them!
We have yet to find any food that Jocelyn doesn't love! Spicy won't be her food exception!
It is great having a kid that likes everything.
