Totemite bliss

This little guy came to dinner last night with a special single-mindedness. The options were plentiful: roast turkey, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and a salad bar especially full of delicious choices - two kinds of greens, tomatoes, mushrooms, radishes, a bowl of kale, chicken salad, macaroni salad, egg salad, and there were of course slices of bread and soy butter spread.

But mashed potatoes were his thing. He filled his plate and sat staring blissfuly at it and then began the process of eating and smiling.

(His wonderful counselor Carly sat with him and urged him to try something green, or at least something a little darker brown - and eventually she did get him to eat something else, but for the moment he was in a mashed heaven and I was glad to catch the scene.)
