Strawberry fields

Today Eli went strawberry picking for the first time. He carried his little pail and did a great job filling it up with red strawberries. He pointed out the green ones and told me, "These are still growing, Mama." And he didn't eat a ton of them until we got back into the car. I was impressed :)

But after dinner, plain fresh strawberries wasn't enough to satisfy this guy. We asked him if he wanted milk or whipped cream on his strawberries and he said, "No. I want chocolate sauce and ice cream." When we told him he couldn't have that, he threw a tantrum and cried for 10 minutes.

After he recovered though, he ate two bowls of fresh strawberries. Plain. Because, "I don't like whipped cream, Mama."
