Maybe she is just not comfortable around kids? I don't think she has any children.

Splendid!! Enzo has moved on & will probably have a great time swimming with the dolphins, which is something I would love to do one day. It will be a much more memorable experience for him than cooking anyway. He's a 6 year old boy, he can cook any old day, swimming with dolphins isn't an everyday experience.
:woohoo:

He can cook any old day?? Wow, just wow
Maybe read his mother's blog and see what he thought about cooking any old day.
Quit making more of it than it really is. I have read the mother's blog & according to HER, he's excited about the dolphins. I'm excited for him. Cooking is a bore & a hassle to me, so IMO, he got the better wish.
Unfortunately as we were arriving home from the hospital I got word from “Make A Wish” that it is has been officially confirmed that Ina Garten (the “Barefoot Contessa” ) has declined Enzo’s wish to meet her and cook a meal with her. I felt terrible for him, he has been unwavering in his desire to meet her for 3 years and despite many attempts to get him to pick a 2nd wish or change his mind he would not. Last year Ina gave a “soft no” supposedly because she had a 10 month book tour and they called and asked him what he wanted to do and he said “I will wait” and he did…As I wrote in last month’s update they came to our home again and tried to convince him to change his wish but he did not want to. Even yesterday when I told him the unfortunate news, his reply was simply “why doesn’t she want to meet me”? (As he is looking up at me with those big beautiful brown eyes).
I would be lying if I said that I don’t find this to be shocking. To know that out of EVERY THING (material Enzo could choose to have), or ANY PLACE (in the world Enzo could travel to) and out of EVERY PERSON on this earth he chose Ina, and she cannot see what an honor that is. And he wanted to actually be with her for NO reason other then to have her company and cook with her. I actually feel badly for her because Enzo has NOTHING but pure love and intensions and she will never get to have that experience with him and she is missing out on something so authentic and beautiful.
Are you serious?
Now that would be a follow up story-if Enzo's family politely refused her offer.
That would be a bummer for her.
It's also nobody's business whether or not a 6-year-old actually enjoys a cooking show, or whether it was really his mother's idea. The point is is that's what his wish is. I don't find it unusual that a child would enjoy the cooking shows on today vs. the era of Julia Child (booooring!!!):twocents:Didn't say it was, but she's meeting with him. I haven't read where Enzo has said that he doesn't want to, so if Enzo is cool with it, it's no one else's business.

F.Y.I. (not that it matters to this thread, but our life doesn't revolve around cooking either. I don't cook everyday, and dinner at that, and... my daughter got to swim with dolphins last summer).In my household, we don't enjoy cooking & life doesn't revolve around meals, we only eat to put fuel in our bodies. So, to ME, going on any cooking show is booooring LOL. I had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins as part of an excursion on a cruise, wish I had done it. I plan to next time.
My son is 4 and we never know when he'll be spooked by something or when he will fully embrace something without any fear, so even though Enzo is 2 years older, I hope he really enjoys it & won't back out. He's been through so much though so hopefully he has a resilience to things.

Turning 10. (There was a height minimum and swim abilities test).Very cool! How old is your daughter?
I just turned 40 & decided that this year would be the year to quit being afraid of things & try new things. That's why I think it's so cool for Enzo to do something like this, maybe he won't be a scardey cat when he's older & will take some chances on life.
