Day 15 -Stuff It


That's how O eats his popcorn. He stuffs it in his mouth. So much in his mouth that sometimes I worry he's going to choke, but he always manages just fine. I've wondered if that's how I eat my popcorn. Maybe that's where he gets it. :) Popcorn has become a fave snack for us to share. I will pop a big ol' bag of Orville Redenbacher Tender White - it's the best - and usually we sit in the floor together with the bowl between us watching Dora (or some other annoying cartoon we have watched 100 times). Me with Diet Pepsi and him with juice or sprite. One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting between my granny & pa eating popcorn and drinking coke. My granny would make it, and still does, the old-fashioned way. You know...on the stove! Today was so pretty that I decided to bring our snack outside. Of course he only lasted sitting here eating for a few minutes before he was up arranging his toys in a line in the yard. Haha. That's a pic for another day. Eventually we ended up bringing the popcorn in and finishing it off...along with him dropping quite a bit my freshly vacuumed floor. We should have stayed outside! Oh well. Maybe some day he will look back and will have a fond memory of sharing popcorn with his momma. I sure hope.
