At four-and-a-half years old, Wonder Boy is a constant source of amusement and frustration. He's sociable, strong, and now talking very well (thanks to a small touch of one-on-one work). Like most kids he will repeat everything he hears, including things like "Stupid Bitch!" (hollered by a friend at a speeding motorist) or "what's wrong with this damn door?" (no doubt his father's influence). You'd think that at 43 pounds, he'd want to eat more than chicken nuggets, PB&J, applesauce, bananas, and cereal. There's something wrong with a kid that won't eat tricolor pasta when Mom markets it as caterpillars ("watch out for the green ones, they're not ripe yet").
