When Life Gives You Lemons...

Yesterday Luke and I were sharing a very delicious lunch of shrimp cocktail, hummus, and bananas when he pointed at the lemon slices that came with the cocktail and said, "mmm, lemonade." Now I could have explained that lemons don't taste like lemonade, but if you know me, you know I said, "Wait! Let mommy get her camera."

After his initial, hilarious reaction, he then proceeded to eat all of the lemon slices. That's my boy! Someday I'll teach him how good lemon slices are with a sprinkle of sugar after a shot of vodka. But not for a very, very long time.

So cute! My boys all a good lemon-induced pucker. From the time they were really little. The funniest is when you get a baby try it. (Now that's mean!) Cute kid. :)

What is it with kids and lemons? ALL of my kids LOVE lemons, as in that would be a preferred fruit choice for them.

I love the lunch - shrimp cocktail, hummus, and bananas - atta girl. That's a well rounded meal if I ever heard one.

Isn't it fun to get to take your kiddos through life and help them experience it (even the lemons)? You're a wonderful mommy!

So cute! My son loves any kind of fruit. He will sit there and eat a lemon no problem. Makes my mouth water just thinking about how sour it is, lol

What a great post! And the pictures are so awesome. You were very wise to get your camera before that first taste.
We're so lucky in this day and age to be able to record pictorially every event in our children's (big and little) lives.
