Ruby likes to stand on a stool next to the counter and watch me cook, and I think that’s pretty awesome. Today I was making stir-fried vegetables, and I gave her a piece of raw carrot to eat. To my surprise, she ate it — she’s been fairly averse to raw vegetables all her short life.
This is good news, because her diet is generally pretty light on vegetables. It’s nice to have another option available to round out her nutrition.
Anyway, I gave her the carrot and said to her, “this is a carrot”.
She said, “bunnies”. Bunnies?
I checked with Kate, and she has not taught her any carrot-bunny associations. So who is teaching her that carrots and bunnies go together?
(note: I don’t have a problem with it, I’m just curious about where she picks these things up)

I just realized where it’s probably from. At the end of “The Runaway Bunny” the bunny’s mother gives him a carrot.
