We never eat fish at our house. I mean never; however, for the first time in our family history, we decided that we would try out some cooked salmon. I know we are a little weird as Todd and I both are not fans of cooked fish, but all of a sudden, we are having a taste for it. We do, on the other hand, love sushi and were introduced to it years ago. It is my favorite food and it is what I craved throughout both pregnancies. I guess that is what sparked my sushi thought....
As we were eating the cooked salmon, we noticed that Gavin nearly inhaled his and even asked for more. This is when Todd and I looked at each other with a realization that we are going to have this more often due to the overwhelming unspoken applause given to us by our son. This is what sparked the conversation about fish....
Todd and I kind of stumbled over our words a little when we were trying to explain why we've never had fish at our table in the past. We shared that we have a love of fish in a different way, on rice and raw. He did not really understand what we were trying to explain, but we encouraged him that, one day, we would explore the world of sushi as a family. This is what sparked a little girl to think out of the box....
As we were speaking to Gavin about this new possibility and how much we would enjoy doing this as a family, Todd began to share all of the different things you can wrap into a sushi roll (maki) or onto rice to create sushi. We began to list off the many yummy insides of our favorite maki rolls when Sophia, in the most confident manner that anyone could possibly assume, proudly states "I'll put teddy grahams on mine." I love how she thinks out of the box. Of course, we busted out in laughter imagining such a roll. This is what sparked my mind to come up with such a humorous visual....
