Don't even think about taking this away from me

Little Miss Finicky likes to keep us guessing. One day she hates a certain food, the next day she can't eat that same food fast enough. Or vice versa.

Gerber babyfood corn? Never would eat it.

Kernels of corn, either frozen or cut from a cob? A few weeks ago she loved it as long as she could feed it to herself. But the last few days, she's refused to touch it.

This brings us to Sunday evening's dinner, which included corn on the cob. Sydney wanted nothing to do with the corn on her plate. She instead pointed at my ear of corn and did her favorite "uh-uh-uh" grunt that indicates she wants something.

Curious what she would do with it, I handed her my corn on the cob. And that was my last taste of it.

Grabbing it in a vise-like grip, Sydney started out with tentative bites. She quickly graduated to serious chomps.

Suddenly, corn is good again. As long as it's on the cob so that she can eat like big people. We'll see how long this lasts.
