The Joys of Butter

Katie has always been a healthy eater. She eats mostly fruits and vegetables with a few things in between. At breakfast, she'll have pancakes, but she has always eaten them plain with no butter or syrup. Recently though, Katie has discovered butter and loves it. I think she likes the saltiness in it.

We went out to eat at IHOP one day, and I ordered Katie's butter on the side. As soon as she saw it, she wanted to dig into the butter with a spoon - just to eat it plain. I told her she couldn't do that, but could try it on her pancakes. She helped me try to spread the butter, and the "butter pancakes" were a hit. Luckily, she hasn't asked for a cup of butter at home. That's just something she relates to IHOP now.

I think I want big spoonfuls of butter on this pancake. 

Butter is pretty good stuff! 

I had to fold my pancake, so the butter wouldn't fall off. Yum!
