I Turned My Back for a Minute..

By Augustabelle
..and my yogurt with lemon zest and agave was gone.. sacrificed to two little hands.  And how Biet loved it.  I could have stopped it when I first saw her lifting the container up to her face, but I didn't.  I could have stopped her when she began her little ritual of letting Nico lick her fingers and then sticking them back in her mouth, but I didn't.  I was too tired to stop her, and happy that she was getting some good protein in her belly.  Maybe a better Mama would have nipped all these bad behaviors in the bud instead of relishing the 15 minutes of silence while her daughter was occupied and content, but I just wasn't that Mama today.  I figured, she's eating at the table, family style, eager about feeding herself, and an enthusiastic sharer.  There's three points for Mama. So I sat back, snapped a few photos, and caught up on emails while she covered everything in yogurt. A little mess never hurt anybody..
