Leon LOVES ice cream. A few weeks ago when I came home from work he said, "helado (ice cream)" and then went to his drawer got a bowl and spoon and walked with me to the freezer. I had to give him some because I was so impressed by his actions.Weeks later he is tormenting us! He says, "helado" as soon as he wakes up in the morning (twice, once in CA and once in Venezuela I gave him helado after thinking he had a sore throat or fever), when we are driving, when we are at restaurants, every where. He doesn't just say ICE CREAM he says, "helado, alli, alli". Ice cream over there! Sometimes he is right other times he is pointing to an auto shop or a library.
We've had ice cream quite a bit in San Francisco. In this picture Leon, Jeff, and I shared a Ghirardelli peanut butter and chocolate ice cream sundae. I 'm pretty sure Leon had more than Jeff and I. Once we were done he of course said, "mas, mas."
I am worried that we are over indulging him or that he is going to become obese. But we also have been hiking and walking a lot and it is hard to imagine that a child formed from the union of Jeff and I (living with us etc) would become obese (without some medical problem).
So for now I won't worry about Leon's obsession with ice cream.
