Remember Today 7.4.08

{remember} a cookout at my sister's house, the boys all playing so nicely together, the guys having baseball time together, the girls organizing a bit, and this conversation with Maddox:

M: Mommy, can I have some dessert?

Me: Did you have dessert already?

M: No.

Me: You didn't have dessert already?

M: No.

Me: Then what's that all over your face?

M: {licks his face as if to try to figure out what on earth I could be referring to, then realizing he's been bagged flashes his adorable grin and tries again} Mommy, can I have some dessert?

*Turns out, the poor kid dropped his first M & M ice cream treat after managing only a bite or two.
