sausage

we now wake up to a chorus of "sausage" eminating from the little girl's room upstairs. over the monitor, we are treated to a delightful tune of "sausage, sausage, sausage" each and every morning, and sometimes after nap.
along the lines of "food, glorious food" from oliver, tali's new thing is "sausage, oh glorious sausage".
she stole a few bites of my turkey sausage at breakfast a few weeks ago, and that is how the story starts. it has been obsession since. levi wont touch the stuff. tali inhales it.
i bought turkey sausage by the ton from costco last weekend, and we are already halfway through the box. tali eats 4 links at breakfast (since the 2 we initially gave her were definitely not satisfying her increasing hunger for her new delectable treat), and she CRIES- WAILS to be exact- when she sees me taking a bite of my own measly two links as if she will never get enough herself and i better save her every last morsel of my very own breakfast.
each morning, as we trek downstairs to prepare breakfast, i'll ask the kids what they want. breakfast do you say? levi wants oatmeal or a bagel or waffles or yogurt or cereal. and tali just starts screaming sausage sausage sausage until it is sitting in front of her ready to be devoured.
