Come to find out, some 30-years later, I actually have one of those kids! Barrett was up on the counter helping me make lunch today and I heard him say "mmm, yummy." I looked up and saw he had scooped his finger into the butter dish and was licking it off his finger like ice cream. EWWWEEE!!!!! Now we also have the finger-lickin dent in the butter to prove it. DOUBLE EWWWEE!!!!
This book is about a mother who sings this song to her son all her life, until she is dying and then the son holds his mother, rocks her to sleep and sings the song back to her. Insert tears here. Honest, real tears, started flowing down my cheeks.
I don't know how he pulled it off, but he did. I'm solidly in love with a butter-eater.
In other news.....We've been having a whirl-wind of a time this Christmas season. Holiday parties, ginger bread houses, and oh yeah Vivienne started walking (13.5 months), with antlers none-the-less. It's been busy and magical all wrapped together like a mysterious Christmas gift under the fresh smelling tree.
4 Days Left and I still have a lot I'm looking forward to, baking cookies, the Christmas Eve church service with the kids and huge cookie, candy, popcorn buffet. Christmas morning watching the kids open presents with my family (minus my brother who's still in China, boo) and then going in the afternoon to be be with John's family and our newest niece Stella Rose who will be enjoying her 1st Christmas.
