Pie Safe
Alden's pal Cannon came calling today.
For a while, the two of them were content to hang out on the couch.
But then they got hungry. Fortunately, Cannon's mom Rebecca was prepared.
Alden ate Cannon's lunch (guacamole with black beans and yogurt mixed with bananas) with such enthusiasm that his parents suspected that we do not feed her.
"The face" has all but disappeared from Alden's repertoire in recent days, but she must have been feeling particularly feisty in the wake of so much consumption.
Cannon, unflappable fellow that he is, did not protest.
Later, Alden was like, "Dude should we get in the pie safe?"
And Cannon was like, "Only if I can get on the bottom shelf."
Some day Alden will not fit on the top shelf of the pie safe, and it makes me sad. I suppose that it's one of those lessons we're supposed to learn as parents, that childhood is fleeting, that I'm supposed to cherish these days, that they will soon be gone forever.
Blah, blah, blah.
I prefer to get a bigger pie safe when she grows out of this one. I know they make them.
