Bapba?

Gemma loves raspberries we discovered tonight.

We had some leftover raspberries from breakfast this morning. They were tart and delicious, but very much on the sour side of the spectrum. I dumped the rest on my salad at dinner time more to get rid of them than because I thought it was going to be delicious.

We sat down to eat when Gemma spied the berries. Immediately, she began pointing and gesturing vigorously towards the berries. Reluctantly, I gave her a berry. I didn't really want to give her one because I knew how tart it was going to be. I was worried she wouldn't want to try them again if they were too sour.

Time and time again, she pointed towards my salad until she had eaten all of the raspberries out of it (in total, about 6). In the end, she was a mess, but very happy.*

I was trying to get a video of her picking up the leftover bits on her tray, when I got something much sweeter. The minute I put my phone up to take video, she thought we were going to call one of her favorite people in the world.

Bapba.

She sure loves that grandpa!


*John swears this is because I ate vast quantities of raspberries while pregnant with Gemma.
