Oranges

Sometimes Layton demands things and sometimes I don’t have time to respond.  During those times he just takes matters into his own hands.  Like when he was in the mood for an orange, or in this case a satsuma.  So quite often I come across him doing some rather surprising things.

At lease he was very neat about it.  No peelings on the floor.  All carefully placed in a pile up on the countertop.

His determination  was seriously intense.

Ah, the sweet fruits of his labor.  Mmm were they good.

You know, I am always amazed at what he does.  Then I take a second and think about it realize that it really isn’t all that amazing that an almost two year old can figure out how to peel a satsuma.  In fact, it would be more surprising if he couldn’t.  It is just that when I look at him, he is so tiny and still has such babyish features that it is like watching a 9 month do something like this, which really would be AMAZING.
