Sushi Man

Last night we went to Jim's favorite place - The Hibachi. He loves "all you can eat sushi night". Most of the time he goes alone or just takes the kids when I'm at work, but not so much with me. So last night I was off and we went as a family. Instead of going to the grill we went to the sushi bar and the kids wanted to sit at the counter so they could watch them make the sushi and talk to all the people. Things were going good. We have found that Lauren loves the shrimp and Brandon will eat the buttered noodles and sometime some steak. As they all know Jim real well, they just started making him sushi with out even asking what he wanted (they already knew). One of the first things they handed over was some Yellow Tail. Jim started eating and Brandon was really interested this time. All of the sudden Brandon said he wanted one. Jim gave him a piece and looked at me. You see Brandon is very picky when it comes to food and getting him to try something new is like pulling teeth. I remained quiet and calm, determined to see what he would do. He picked up the meat part and sniffed it and then took a little bite. Then he gave me the thumbs up sign. OH MY GOD, HE LIKED IT. Next he took a big bite and then he stuffed the whole thing in his mouth, rice and all. HOLY CRAP. Jim and I couldn't believe he did it. Without any prodding at all. At that point it was high fives all around.
