An Apple Today

Laners and I made a little trip to the grocery store this afternoon. Lane is to the age now that he knows the foods I am getting in the produce section, the place where we get all of his favorite foods. He usually cries for a banana, but today it was an apple. I figured what would it hurt if I let him eat on an apple while we shopped? So, I gave him one and he pulled the little sticker off of it. I thought, ok, he just wants to hold it. Then, I looked down and he took a tiny little mouse bite. It was so cute. He took a few more little nibbles and I got down to business, grocery list business that is. The next time I looked down, a few isles later, Lane had attacked the apple! There was hardly any skin left on it and he was covered in apple pulp and juice!!! I was so mad I didn't have my camera with me to capture the moment that I took a few pictures as soon as we got home. Yes, he was still working on that apple!

I'm sure he's thinking "Mom, this is the best apple ever, thanks for letting me have it."
"Mom quit taking pictures and let me eat my apple!"

When he finally gave the apple up this is what was left. I should have taken a picture of a whole apple with this one to get the full effect. I think he did pretty good for his first ever attempt at a whole apple.
