This is bananas

Mimi and Poppy are visiting this weekend (more on that in a later post), and they got to witness Reid and Grant's first taste of bananas... which instantly skyrocketed to the top of the favorite food list.

First they tried them with their cereal yesterday morning, which was a big hit. But then last night, after a nutritious dinner of squash and zucchini, I put a big chunk of banana in a couple of these fruit sucker things, and h-o-l-y c-o-w at the joy. They latched on and would. not. let. go. Behold, nom nom.

Pitiful and precious all at the same time. It's a shame they don't get enough to eat.

And here's the video, for posterity's sake:
