so maybe he's not so weird

Nathan has been a pretty good eater so far. However, he had an odd aversion to what seems to be most kids' favorite food -- pizza. He had never had it, but refused to eat it, saying he didn't like it. About a month ago, he got to go to a party at a place called Monkey Joe's (an indoor playplace with blow-up slides, etc.) because he accomplished the requirements of a summer reading program at church. Lunch was served, and it was, of course, pizza. Jennifer convinced him to eat some, and he decided then that he did in fact like pizza. We've had it a few times since then and he keeps saying how much he likes it and how he didn't used to.

It's something of a relief for this "discovery" to have been made. Now he won't go hungry in his teenage/college years when pizza is the only thing being served.

No pictures of the pizza eating and inflatable sliding?

Unfortunately, there were no pictures...at least none taken by me. I forgot to take my camera that day. There are a couple around on other people's cameras, but I don't know where they are.
