The Apple.....

Oh that darling baby Benjamin had David I just laughing tonight. He was sitting in his high chair at the table. He has so many adorable quirks It would take a book to list them all. But one that I want to highlight is his need to hold something while he is eating. Usually I just give him a spoon or something to play with while I feed him. It keeps his mind occupied and allows smoothe suppers. Tonight his spoon had fallen on the floor so I just handed him an apple from the bowl and just thought he would play with it while I finished feeding him. Much to my surprise and David's He started chewing on it and when he got a taste of it he just chowed down! We were laughing so hard! He sounded like a man biting into that thing. We were worried about the peel that seemed to bother him so David took the apple away to peel it for him and you should have seen the river of tears that flowed....it was rather funny and sad all at once. Then when the apple was handed back to him the water works stopped immediately and such a sound of relief came from Benjamins' mouth. It just cracked us up. Who would have thought about a 13 month old going to town on an apple?
