Elias enjoyed "making burritos" on SesameStreet.org yesterday, so I decided to have them for dinner. We did the whole shebang: ground beef, refried beans, corn, lettuce, salsa, cheese, tomatoes, olives and sour cream/guacamole. Of course, like Mom, he put way too much on the tortilla to roll up, but after removing 1/2 the filling to another plate we could roll it up. He ate it all, plus the extra filling, and then asked for an ate another later that evening. He says he's had burritos before, but I think this was his first. This is how my son eats burritos: 
Yep, from the middle out. For the longest time he also ate apples and pears straight through "left to right" (core and all), rather than concentrically. I love it how kids challenge your everyday assumptions as to the "right" way of doing things.
