Not a complaint

I've been too complainy on this blog. So here is one complaint-free post...

I was having lunch with my sister and her family and generally having a good time. Beeky (my nephew) had finished his meal and was getting antsy. Sis and I were busy talking to each other and were ignoring Beeky's antics until he started getting cranky. He was really tired, but he wanted some pears (which were out of his reach) before he left the table.

We passed him a few slices of pear and watched him struggle to eat them. He would hold the slice in a two-fisted grip so that he wouldn't drop it. But as he would bring the pear to his mouth, he would fall asleep and his hands would drop to his lap. He would then jerk awake and start over. When he was finally able to get the pear to his mouth, he jammed a huge portion into his mouth and then scrunched up his face in concentration as he tried to chew without falling asleep.

Sis and I could not keep from laughing. After he finished one slice, Sis put him down for a nap.

I wish that I could have captured that on video.
