Chicken Hammer, please!

Emily loves food. She eats almost everything I put in front of her with the occasional "YUCK!" thrown in between. Based on my limited information and experience, this is kind of unique. Where Noah lived on pb and j sandwiches for 2 years Emily will try any cuisine; spicy noodles, tofu, couscous..whatever, she's usually game. And so I had to laugh as we sat at the dinner table last night and she asked for a chicken hammer(drumstick). Noah laughed til his nostril were flaring, and eyes were weeping. I popped up to get the video camera to save it for posterity while Kam proceeded to withhold the food until she asked for it, again,for the 5th time, just so we could capture the moment. My recommendation - don't make a hungry 3 year old wait for/and request her food several times over - it wasn't so cute and no one was laughing by the time I hit record.
