Lol, Micah is such a cutie! I wish I could do the tongue-to-nose trick. :-) So he likes grapefruit just plain? I have such a sweet-tooth, I need to sprinkle a little sugar on my grapefruit halves, hehe.
Hi Melissa!!
We should be headed your way in the next week or so. I’ll let you know :)
Micah loves plain grapefruit.
He also loves spicy foods!
Very thankful for my crazy kids.
BTW, I love the haircut photos on your blog!!
LOL!!! Great photos! Tell Micah that I love ruby reds too!
RR grapefruits are long out of season so expensive & ratty here.
Just a few more months until the perfect ones start to ship. Yum!
My mother taught me the key to selecting a juicy grapefruit:
Find ones with smooth, shiny skin. The tighter the pores on the outside, the more juice on the inside. This trick never fails me! :)
Hey, I have that superpower, too! ;)
I’m enjoying browsing your blog! Thanks for the welcome~tweet! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Such a cute pic!
This morning, Micah was eating his breakfast (of course, it’s a grapefruit… had you any doubts?!) and this time it was cut “between the eyes”, so he could eat it with a spoon. When done with the spoon, he turned the grapefruit INSIDE OUT to scrape out the remaining bits of juice vesicles with his teeth.
