Xavier's Maternal Instinct Peeks Out
Greetings to everyone.
Shortly after getting dressed for the day, Xavier ran into Middle Earth to play. I was in the kitchen packing him snacks. Prepping for church, we'd be away for a few hours and the fridge stores were getting low, so I was scrounging.
I turned to watch Xavier place one of his cars into his highchair. He did this after carefully straightening out the seat belt straps. Once convinced the car had no intentions of getting out of the chair, Xavier moved to the refrigerator.
With a slight exertion and a grunt, he pulled open the door. Unlike Dad, he had no problem finding something suitable. He twisted off the top of the container holding his diced cantaloupe. He finger-fed two or three cubes to his car.
Putting away the cantaloupe, he pulled out a bag of pepperoni. Disappearing into Middle Earth again, he returned with a pink lion stuffed animal a friend of ours bought for him. He placed the lion next to the car.
Our son somehow knew that lions eat meat, so he fed the lion pepperoni.
