My Baby Eats Butter

I love butter.

I schmear it on bread, lather it on pasta, and use it without abandon when making pancakes with the crispiest of edges.

But the thought of taking a bite straight off the stick makes me a bit squeamish.

My baby, on the other hand, loves it.

She requests it by name.

“Bubba! Bubba!”

I point to the strawberries.

She shakes her head no.

I point to the apples.

Again, no.

Out of desperation, I point to the sour cream.

“No!”

Ok, butter it is.

Hey, at least it’s grass-fed.

  1. What a wonderful snippet to retell as she grows.

  2. My daughter, as a toddler, climbed in a drawer to reach the kitchen counter… so she could reach the butter… which she smeared all over herself from head to toe! (Now as a grown-up, she eats dairy-free.)

  3. So fun! I love that last line, and I love the description of you trying to convince her that she wants something else. I’ve heard that the butter is useful for the neurons in little ones’ brains developing. She’s going to grow up to be a genius!
