On Monday morning, Jayden was getting ready to leave for grandma’s. I knew the strawberry was ripe and asked him to see if it’s ready. He quickly said “Yes.” Then picked it before I could say anything else.

I was putting my socks on during all this and before I could get out the door he ate the season’s first strawberry. Mema said during this exchange he was holding the strawberry to his mouth eager to eat it.
