Fried Rice. Among Other Things.

"The Changeling," as we have taken to calling him, has strong opinions. 

• He wants food & he wants it now. Most of the time. 
• He also wants any libations within reach. Coffee, tea, wine, anything will do. 
• Oh, yes, he also wants to stand... all the time. He also likes to walk, with assistance. It is much preferred over this thing called 'crawling.' 
• He hates the car with a vengeance. He hates the carseat even more. 
• He has befriended the cats & is gentle with them. They have a bewildering mutual affinity.
• He is very, very fond of Kotopoulo Kapama, melons & Daddy's fried rice. Baby food, for the most part, is for the birds, or at least the baby birds.
• Plastic bags are his favorite toy. We cannot convince him otherwise.
• He would rather be outside than indoors & prefers a social setting to solitude, especially if he is the center of attention, or people are playing drums.
• Being limited by his body makes him crabby. My guess is that if he had the ability, he would go find himself a restaurant serving up some jazzy tunes, a nice cognac & good conversation.
