The Delight of Carrots

I've got to post today. I haven't been doing it as often, which is fine, but...an online friend pointed me to this today: http://firefightersfamily-dhjc.blogspot.com/. I've been sobbing. This is what I've imagined, what many mothers have imagined when they can't stop themselves.


In that spirit, I just called Xander to lunch. 


"Alexander!"


"What, Mommy?"


"Lunchtime, honeybun!"


"What? What is..." running from his room to the dining room table. 


Gasp of delight. He picks up the carrot stick and starts eating.
