Also, it makes me so happy when I hear about kids that like sushi! The first time I had sushi, I despised it. I was about 19 working and working for the summer at a major biotech research facility in Montreal. Each month a different department would choose food for order-in lunch. Somehow people learned I’d never had sushi before and all eyes were on me as I took my first uncoordinated bite. I was so embarrassed: I didn’t know how to use chopsticks or navigate the flavour’s and textures. I ate an ENORMOUS dollop of wasabi and, of course, my eyes and nose started watering. Fast forward a few decades and sushi is one of my favourite meals (and a friend from Japan taught me the intricacies of proper chopstick technique). I wish I had been exposed to different foods at an earlier age. Gold star to you (and your son)!

And good luck with the food-throwing. This too shall pass, but it’s a particularly unpleasant aspect of toddler development.
