Just Dig In!

What an insane week! I haven't slept much and I've been putting in longer hours at the "real" job. I'm in the process of switching Vivian to a new day care center, among other things. Generally speaking, I feel as if a bus has run over my body.

Thankfully though, my daughter (even though she can be a royal pain in the butt) makes me smile and reminds me that I must enjoy life more. Despite what is happening around you, just dig in!

So I'm posting this here to remind myself (and anyone else who may need a lift) to take matters into your own hands when the time comes.

Here she is, the portait of summertime, enjoying her watermelon.

First she started off using a fork.

But then that fork took too long, so she switched to using her hands.

Finally, even hands weren't quick enough. So she picked up the bowl and decided to just dig right in. (Yes, the DIVA! The girl who doesn't like to get dirty!!!)

Viv digs in!

(I love it when you can spontaneously catch these rare, funny moments on film!)

Thanks Viv! I love you and I get your message loud and clear!

And I'll be driving to Sonic's Happy Hour as soon as they open! ;-)
