Quick, before I get Sidetrack'd

Fruitivore

Thoughtfully penned on June 9th, 2009 and generally concerning Boo

I’ve mentioned before that Boo really likes his food. He’ll eat just about anything that doesn’t eat him first, but if given a choice he will always grab fruit before anything else.

I keep fresh fruit, frozen fruit, canned fruit and fruit cups on hand so that I always have something to offer him. Because, seriously, I think he would pack his bags and leave home if he had to go through an entire day without at least one serving of fruit.

The other day Matt picked up a watermelon and a honeydew melon when he ran to the grocery. After we’d all finished our dinner Matt cut the watermelon and doled some out for himself and Little while Boo waited patiently for his share.

Matt was cutting pieces off of his slice to give to Boo, and every.single.time he put watermelon in front of Boo the boy laughed hysterically. Boo would be sitting in his chair totally silent and Matt would hand him some watermelon and he would just bust out laughing like it was the greatest thing ever.

It was so funny to watch and hear him. I don’t know what was going through his little mind, but he was obviously enjoying his watermelon.

Noise from the peanut gallery

  1. Awww. Same w/Ash. And if anything, it’s one of the best things to love! :o )

  2. HA! I bet that was hilarious!!! Peanut gets REALLY excited about food too!

  3. Gotta love the fruit! My Owen is addicted, too! (He tends to be picky, but he doesn’t turn down fruit.)

  4. So cute, I love how he is so passionate about his food. You painted a very clear visual for me….which in return made me laugh!

Add to the cacophony
