Today Grampy and I took LSP to a locally well-know homemade ice cream place. LSP loooooooves ice cream, so she's got to try them all! We got her a dish of creamy, delicious ice cream and she settled down in a kiddie chair to enjoy it. Next to us was a group of people with a little boy who looked a few months younger than LSP. He was eating melon chunks out of a plastic container. He looked over at LSP who was totally ignoring him and shoveling in the ice cream at a high rate of speed. The boy watched her eating then pointed wordlessly to her ice cream, giving his grandmother a beseeching look. "Do you want some edamame?" the grandmother cooed, producing another plastic container. Seriously?!? You bring the kid to this fabulous hommeade ice cream place and you serve him melon chunks and soybeans? I am pretty sure that might be child abuse. He continues to watch LSP as she polished off her entire bowl of ice cream and ask for more. I considered calling Child Protective Services for the kid.
When we got home Nana had the sprinkler going on her flowers. LSP loves anything to do with water, but this was her first experience with a sprinkler. She was thrilled of course, and ran all around, getting as wet as possible in the mist, then finishing the job by sitting in the driveway puddles the sprinkler created. All and all a near perfect summer day for a little girl.
