timing is everything

One thing we are learning about Nicholas is that he does not like to eat breakfast. This morning Aunt Heather had fixed French toast, and we were all working as hard as we could at encouraging him to eat. I tried to encourage him to try it with some honey with the hope that he would like the taste of the honey and keep eating. He finally took a bite of the French toast with nothing on it. Not liking that he agreed to try some honey. After about a minute of Nicholas staring at the French toast on the end of his fork he very slowly started moving the bite towards his mouth. I held my breath waiting for that honey soaked piece of toast to touch his tongue. At the point where the toast was millimeters from his lips John David busts out with:

"Did you know that honey is really bee vomit?"

John David's timing could not have been better. All the adults in the kitchen had so much emotionally invested in that bite that all we could do is bust out laughing. Then all the kids started laughing and Nicholas took the bite. I think he thought John David was just being silly...
