Last week, my friend E and her twins joined us for supper. Aware that M liked red peppers, I sliced some up for her enjoyment. She does like red peppers but she also had her way with the radishes. When I expressed surprise, her mother explained that Peter Rabbit eats radishes.
That’s a girl after my own heart.
Her brother C was less interested in the veggies, though soon after this picture was made he discovered the spray bottle of water I use to keep the cats off the table. He went to work on the task of squirting water with great concentration.
The twins are nearly three and their enjoyment and delight in the world is evident. I love this age, a time when new discoveries are everywhere and laughter is frequent. Toddlers don’t control the market on discoveries and laughter, but they yield to both far more often than stodgy grown ups manage. We could learn a lesson or two from them.
