All Things Orange

I might venture to say that you would never notice how many orange foods there are until you realize that it constitutes roughly 90% of what your son eats.

My one year old has a clear preference for the auburn edibles.

It started with sweet potatoes, squash and carrots. Then came along canteloupe, peaches and apricots. Then cheddar cheese. And of course, oranges (that one seems a bit obvious, wouldn't you say?).

And that's just the naturals. Now he is discovering the more upscale items that fall into the orange color spectrum. This category includes such delectables as gold fish crackers, cheese puffs, and macaroni and cheese.

All of those are definitely his favorites. Not to mention the almost-orange-sort-of-brown colored chicken nuggets.

And if you squint, I could also include spaghetti. After all, it does leave behind quite an orange colored face when he's done.

Mmm, mmm, good.

I'm getting a bit concerned that my child will turn into an oompa-loompa.
