"Hates" Butter

For some time now, James has declared he hates butter. We have pancakes/waffles almost every weekend and if he sees us getting the butter out (because who doesn't want some on their pancakes or waffles??) he HAS to remind us he doesn't like it. Do we listen? Not all the time. That's the magic of butter- it melts. You can't see it. Especially when you put something like syrup or cinnamon and sugar or honey on it afterwards. It's just a wonderful thing to moisten something that is dry. And let's be honest, our string bean needs the extra calories! So I sneak it on when I can. Can he taste it? Heck no! So does he hate butter? Nope. He likes the taste. He hates seeing butter. If something has cooled off too much and he can see it- freak out. Until I "take it off". So funny how picky they can be and have no idea how much they really like something.
