An apple a day

Every day I look at my children and realize how quickly they are growing. Each day holds something new, something funny, something challenging. Andrew was having an unusually "hungry" day on Wednesday. Around 4 o'clock he started saying "hot dog." He climbed into his high chair so I knew he was serious. It was so close to dinner that I gave him a banana for a snack thinking that would pacify him. When he finished the banana he declared, "Hot dog." He ended up eating a banana, 2 hot dogs, and 1/3 of a sliced apple. As I was preparing dinner less than an hour later, he saw the remainder of the apple on the counter and asked for it. So I gave him the apple. I was amazed when he carried it around for 10 minutes taking big bites out of his Granny Smith. It's the little things that make me smile each day.
