Monday night, on my way home from work I got a call, it was a call that was bound to change the course of my entire night...Sorry for the drama, it was Dan and he wanted to know if Maya could come over and play. Funny how it works, Beckett was just asking me if Maya could come over and play, we were having this HUGE discussion when Dan called, anyway, we always love the company. When Dan and Maya arrived Beckett went CRAZY. He was doing everything in his power to show off. It was comical.
The 2 "little ones" decided that they would like a snack to eat and so I had just bought a bunch of grapes. I popped one in my mouth just to make sure that they were sweet, and I was confronted with what I thought was a mistake. There were seeds in the middle, 3, I think, in each grape. I was grateful that I had taken a bite, but at the same time angry at Horrocks for not advertising the fact that the grapes were not seedless. I kept reading the sign over in my mind and I am sure that it sed "Red Globe Grapes". So I sat there cutting and desseeding these grapes and all the while getting more upset at the lack of consideration that Horrock's had. In the midst of my fury, I was putting the grapes away and I saw it. A huge label on the front of the bag said "Red Seeded Globe Grapes" I can not begin to tell you how ashamed I felt. Here I was blaming a store for putting a sign up that was missing one word and I was naive enough not to look at what I was buying. Lesson learned. Anyway, after the seed catasrophe was fixed Beckett and Maya had a lovely time. Beckett would get a grape and feed it to Maya.
He was so proud of himself after each round of feedings.
Well, I suppose it was inevitable but Maya want to get her own grapes. She is very independent, as she should be.
Well, one thing lead to another, which lead right back to Beckett trying to feed Maya the grapes. I don't think that I can say it any better than Maya is saying it in this picture. But can't you just hear her thoughts...Get your hands off of my food, don't you think that I am capable of picking up a grape and putting it in my own mouth, what just because I am a girl you think I need a BOY to do things for me, HHMMPPHH boys.....
I am just happy to announce that they waded through cold waters for a moment but it didn't last long, their love (for grapes) won out and soon they were both content eating, laughing, showing off, competing for whatever toy the other had...it was so cute.


Don't worry, I did not let Maya get on the coffee table.
