We recently took a week off and went to Louisiana Cajun country (Lafayette, LA) with our 2 year old Sammy. That’s where my wife grew up. She’s a full-blooded Cajun through and through.
I had no idea how Sammy would react to a crawfish boil. 2 year olds are normally pretty picky about “weird food,” and watching your food get boiled alive adds even more to the suspense.
I’m proud to say the boy took to it like a true 1/2 Cajun. He grabbed the first tail his mom peeled for him and dunked it in ketchup and ate it, immediately asking for more.
Another reason to work at home: You can end up with a terribly smart and well-rounded kid when you don’t have to send them to daycare! To the point where they’ll even eat big, red, bug-looking things just because you do. 🙂
