Littlest Lindsays: "I will eat all the purple ones..."

"I will eat all the purple ones..."

What summer is complete without popsicles in the backyard? Bella has been asking for a while now for a popsicle. I guess she knew it was a summer tradition! And her mean ole Mommy made her wait until August to indulge! It wasn't as if I was intentionally not allowing her to enjoy a popsicle, I just kept forgetting to add them to my grocery list. And with my mommy brain, if it's not written down, then chances are I'm not going to remember it. I finally remembered to make this important purchase during my grocery trip last week. She was with me, so she got to hand pick which popsicles she wanted.

She must have asked a dozen times as Scott and I were putting away the groceries if it was time to get a popsicle. Patience isn't one of her strengths! After the groceries were in their proper place, I asked what color she wanted, and she enthusiastically responded "PURPLE!" Then she sweetly said "and you can have a purple one if you would like, Mommy". I told her that wasn't necessary, since the purple ones were her favorite. Then she said "Good! Then I can eat ALL the purple ones!" And we headed to the backyard to enjoy her purple popsicle.

I love how she's just gazing at her purple popsicle! She waited a long time for it!
