Fries and Catsup

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day yesterday, filled with lots of food and family. We were going to spend the Thanksgiving at my hubby’s family in Virginia; but, we decided to stay and had Thanksgiving dinner at Cracker Barrel.

We were surprised to see our daughter eating the way she did; because, she did something new again! She was sitting on a high chair, and she was served with fries and catsup on a saucer. While we were eating, I saw my daughter dipping her fries in catsup. She did it so perfectly, like she knew and had done it many times before; she perfectly picked up the piece of potato and dipped it in the catsup and put it to her mouth, again and again. However, this was a first for her. So, me and hubby had a big smile on our face; because, we were seeing her doing that for the first time, and it made her look so grown up. She was serious about eating her fries and dipping them in the catsup.

Soon, she will become an independent.

Anyway, today in America is the first day of Christmas shopping season. I am planning to go to the mall and enjoy the crowd. I am not going for a shopping though, I just want enjoy the day and watch people buying stuff.

18 Had something to say...:
