Eating Popcorn With Friends.

Yesterday was one of those days. Like, Wow! Hit you over the head what a beautiful day with perfect sun in the sky, hardly a breeze, not a bug bite, hang with your friends, work on your yard and eat outside for dinnertime.

Cecilia was not sleepy at bedtime... in fact she was cuddly and raring for fun with her family. So we got her very most snuggle puppy sweatshirt on her and brought her downstairs again to visit with the grown-ups after bedtime. So Rafi, Cecilia, Micah, Emily Guirl and myself all hopped on the couches in the living room and ate the very biggest bowls of popcorn, done hippy-style with nutritional yeast. Before I could even think of putting the mommy-common-sense about a one-year old eating popcorn, she punched both her strong, chubby hands, as she leaned against her Mama and her Papa and chowed down on popcorn just like the rest of us. Handful after handful until we reached the bottom of the bowl.

That's why we're really lucky to have teeth and opposable thumbs and the knowledge of making fire, and of gardening, because eating popcorn is so simple for us to do.
