and a basket of cuties. i sat down with my toddler-monster for a snack and it turned into a photo-op, which is in no way out of the ordinary. i see these moments as the most beautiful, most artistic, most worthy of documentation. it’s these that make me giddy. nap-time hair and messy faces are just bonuses.

temptation,  just sitting there looking so yummy.

surrender.

pondering which one is just perfect.

score!

pride. it was only recently that she learned to “get it started” on her own.

determined.

instructing (me, on how to properly peel the cutie).

patience.

success!

the first taste is the sweetest.

bliss.

and already round two.

self-discovery.

precious with a hint of mischievous.

is that already round 3? maybe i should put down the camera and get a handle on this.
