This is my littler helper Julia. Today she came to visit gramma for a few hours while mommy and daddy took her brother to lunch with Santa. Julia is not a big fan of Santa yet. Once she realizes that he is capable of bestowing wonderful presents and goodies upon her I'm sure she'll change her mind but for now she's just a fan of gramma!!! Quite frankly I love this and will continue to whisper in her ear "Santa is a bad man! Santa is a bad man!"
So gramma thought it would be a good idea to clean out the fridge today - haven't done it in a while and it seriously needed to be done. So off to the kitchen I go with my littlest assistant. She knows that if she follows me there will probably be some sort of deliciousness in her future!! As soon as I opened the fridge door her eyes exploded with glee. She started pointing to all kinds of things and begging me to hand them to her. I stuck with the items in plastic containers. First on her list - the chocolate fudge for ice cream. Those who know Julia will find this of no surprise!! She loves ice cream and she loves chocolate - she is definitely all girl. Next on her list was the mayo. She played with that for bit but wasn't really that interested in the jar of mayo. Then she reached for the "Can't Believe It's Not Butter" container. I figured sure, why not!
Needless to say she got it open. She looked at me and said "watz that?" So gramma said "go ahead". I tried giving her a spoon to play in it but she wanted to use her fingers! Of course - it feels so much better. Now just so you all know, I didn't let her cover herself in it nor did I let her eat handfuls of it. I quickly diverted her attention by bribing her with Starbucks Mocha Ice Cream (her favorite).
It may have taken me a little bit longer to get the fridge and the freezer cleaned but I enjoyed every last minute of it. God is so gracious and so kind to bless me wonderful grandchildren - Julia is just one of five wonderful blessings!!!
