So my sweetboy has a few passions in life, and one that I have heard more about in the recent weeks is WATERMELON!
We found this cute one at Maceys, and couldn’t pass it up as Truman cried, Can we please get a watermelon? Usually I hear this cry down the candy aisle, so I was happy it was a healthy snack, and couldn’t pass it up considering the following:
A couple of months ago when we bought our seeds to plant in our garden, when it came time to plant he asked “Where’s the Watermelon?”
We didn’t buy watermelon seeds….and still every time we water our seedlings, Tru still asks which one is ‘my watermelon’ plant?
Finally, we had him call his Grandpa Phillips, who promised to plant him some up at the river. (Which are the best kind anyway!)
Here he is eating it up–look at the joy on his face:
And let me assure you, as soon as we walked into the door from the store, we had to cut it open, and he sat and ate, and ate, and ate….
Yep, he ate all of those pieces, and made sure to eat the white part of the melon, which he scraped out with his swordfish knife (He doesn’t really like the white part, but eats it because his dad eats the white part. Therefore he eats the white part.)
Needless to say, I thought he would have had his fill. But as soon as we finished eating that melon, he enquired when ours watermelon seeds were going to grow so we can eat it. Here we go again….
