A Little Too Much Blue

We have cascades of very blue blueberries. More are ripening as I type. It's absolutely heavenly around here...or, it would be if Levi would quit eating them by the bucketful. He stands by the bushes and picks and eats, picks and eats. Then we get inside and he wants more. It's not that we don't have enough, it's just that when they come out the other end of this kid...oh. my. stars. Eeeeww! Gross! After two blowouts this morning I stuck him in a disposable. I hate to break it to him, but his blueberry eating is about to be seriously rationed. Mommy's ick-ometer is nearing overload.
So, while I kept him indoors (i.e. away from the blueberry bushes) he found other adorable ways of entertaining himself...the spinny chair is always a favorite...
And, the ever cute "Ay-O" (translation: "Hello.")
Side note: Tomorrow's my birthday and this weekend is the 4th of July, so I reserve the right to be scarce around these parts...or not. I'm undecided. Just thought I'd give sufficient warning, in case I drop off the face of the planet for a few days. Never fear...I'll be back! ;) Hope y'all have a happy weekend!!

  2. Yes, the more prudent course would be to save some for later, but one of the things I love about children and childhood~ NOT PRUDENT.
    We have the same situation with figs here, might be a tad worse.

    just blog hopping~Mary

  5. Happy Birthday!!! I can't blame Levi for wanting to eat so many blueberries, they sure are good. My inlaws gave us a big bag last weekend and we've really enjoyed them this week. Have a fun birthday and 4th of July!

  11. Happy Birthday! Enjoy your weekend, and celebrate big! You deserve it.

    As far as blueberries go, I know how it goes. So gross. Not that I'm an advocate of sugar-cereals, but if you ever have the chance to see the result of mass-quantities of Fruit Loops, it's pretty amazing. Hulk Green poop! For reals. I wouldn't lie about my favorite topic.

    (The aforementioned Fruit Loop experience was the product of my kids', not mine. Just so you know...)

  15. Ha ha! Thats great! Thanks for sharing about the blueberry experience- its nice to know when you're not the only one experiencing an overabundance of that kind of stuff... fyi- the colored fishy crackers do pretty much the same thing that someone said fruit loops do. :D


    and.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May it be wonderful, marvelous, delicious, and simply delightful!

  16. Happy Birthday to you! Good luck with the blueberry rationing. And good choice to switch to disposable. Have you been able to get the stains out of the cloth? MOther nature makes some potent 'dyes'
