Selah Juney and I had a snack after school.  I pulled out the grapes for her and a delicious red plum for me. Of course she wouldn’t let me have a grape, but she totally wanted to try my plum.

“Ion’t like it…”

And, yes, it sounds like it looks. It’s her new reaction to new foods.  Just happened this week.  She’s had a funny scrunchy face that she’s made when eating new foods, but now she has the words to express herself pretty precisely.

When Daddy got home, she wanted to go outside and blow bubbles.  She wants to be the one who blows the bubbles, but she can’t seem to get the technique down quite right.  She pretty much insists on putting right against her lips and then blowing.  The bubble liquid takes like soap, so it just makes her intensely frustrated — fun and not fun at the same time.

Here’s my yard looking magical with bubble accents.

Dinner was yummy yummy meatloaf, but Mommy distracted Selah Juney with a little stirofoam container of granola from our CSA basket for the week.  She DOES like this awesome trail mix with pretzels, and dried fruit, and m&m’s, and little crispies.

We couldn’t really get her to focus on the rest of her dinner, but she did a pretty good job of sitting at the table for a while.

We snuggled after dinner, watching Daniel Tiger in Mommy and Daddy’s big bed. I could spend my life enjoying little kid snuggled.  Daniel Tiger would get old, but I think it would be worth it.
