You ate what?!

Peanut ate a lady bug. We were hiking up some steps in Harpers Ferry and I noticed he was chewing. I knelt down, smooshed his cheeks and had a look see for the foreign object. There it was. A poor little lady bug sprawled across the front of his teeth. I was too grossed out to sweep it out. So there I sat, watching him chew. Was it good?

I keep saying that each new stage of Peanut's life is my favorite. So without further hesitation this is my favorite. He's walking, talking and causing loads of mischief. What more could I ask for? It brings a smile to my face. We made banana bread together the other morning and though there were piles of ingredients beneath my feet when we were done, I was laughing and savoring the aroma of the baking bread, and enjoying the moment looking through the oven window with my pint sized helper. Oh and clean up is much more enjoyable when you have a memory to savor while doing it. 

You know what else bring a smile to my face? The chalkboard wall. Yes, we finally got one wall painted in the whole entire house--thanks to the help of my mother--and it is my favorite wall. I keep saying we did it for the kids, but we all know who enjoys it the most; your's truly.
