Today I prepared extra of what we were having for dinner to take to friends who have a young baby. I remember the days of trying to cook everything with a baby in one arm, so whenever a new family lets me, I like to bring food. I was explaining to Westley just that, about how it is hard for moms with tiny babies to cut up fruit because they cannot hold their baby and the knife at the same time. I asked him if he wanted to help cut up some watermelon for them. He jumped at the opportunity. Will was two steps behind Westley.
So I sat them both at the table with their little butter knives and gave them a large piece of watermelon minus the rind. They cut away.
Westley can cut in nice chunks, Will's turned into watermelon mush (which we did not give away). Westley was happy to help package up the watermelon and Will went with me to deliver it. He said baby! the whole way there. I'm not sure he knew what to expect, but he had fun anyway.
