When life gives you lemons...



I came into the kitchen yesterday to find both of my darling children rummaging through the refrigerator. Madeleine was clutching two wedges of soft cheese, I quickly grabbed those away from her. Asher was standing there with the straight up lemon juice. I told him that he wasn't going to like it, but he was insistent that he would. I decided to let him try it. This will teach him to grab random things out of the refrigerator, I thought. He started squeezing it into his mouth, instead of horror, he got this huge grin on his face and said "lemon juice yummy" and drank even more! What a nut! I did have strange lemon cravings when I was pregnant with him. I would buy lemons from the grocery store and suck on them to make me feel less nauseated. I would always order water at restaurants hoping to get a lemon wedge. After my pregnancy lemons were no longer appealing. With Madeleine I couldn't get enough chocolate, but I can never get enough chocolate. I now wonder if sucking on lemons was an Asher initiated craving from the beginning.

How did we ever lose touch! We are living mirror lives of each other. I can totally see this same thing happening at my house, and the rice-y sugar. How funny!
