Watermelon Face

Today's moment is simple. The kids and I went to a baby shower today. It was a beautiful day, and the kids were excited to go to a party. Tessie immediately befriended another little girl at the party and ran off to play in the grass. I got Christian a heaping pile of fruit and we sat down in the shade.

Christian attacked his plate with gusto. He devoured the grapes, cantaloupe and watermelon in a matter of minutes. After each bite he let out a satisfied "mmmmmm."  His favorite was the watermelon. He ate it as far down the rind as possible, letting the juice run down his chin. When he finished it was hard to tell if he had actually ingested a thing, there was so much fruit on him. His happy little watermelon face was wet, sticky and absolutely beautiful.
