You may recall a Christmas-time post about Simon's wish for a playdate with Guy Fieri? Well, things have gotten a bit more complicated....
We've been talking to Simon about his upcoming birthday and how we will have a party with all his friends. This is the first time we are making a "big" birthday party for him, since I think he understands the concept now (sort of) and having started pre-school this year, actually has his own circle of friends - kids he will be in school with for the next few years. So we talk about the party and how so many of his friends will be there and mostly he has seemed excited.
Until a few days ago.
That's when he informed me that he didn't want his friends to come to his party. He wanted Ina (Garten), Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Guy (Fieri) and Paula Deen to come. And this he has reiterated many times over the last few days (sometimes Santa gets added to the list, but mostly its his Food Network friends that seem to really matter).
So if you think I have been exaggerating Simon's cooking obsession, think again. I guarantee my son is the only (almost) three year old who cannot identify Disney characters, Bob the Builder, or the Backyardigans, but can name every host of the Food Network and, often, name every ingredient (spices included) of the dishes they are making on a given episode.
Anyway, if you happen to have any ideas about how to get any one of the Food Network gang to come to a three year old's birthday party, let me know!

Perhaps it isn't wise to ask a 3 yr old who he wants to invite to his party!! But you could send a video to the Food Network of said 3-yr old cooking something spicy in hopes of getting noticed. Good Luck!
