Pumpkin Floss
Last night we went outside and started carving our pumpkins. Once we got to the gross part of gutting our pumpkins Dan told Jacob that the stringy pumpkin guts were dental floss. 
Jacob loves to floss his teeth, so listening to his Dad he started putting the stringy pumpkin guts through is mouth like he does when he gets dental floss! I thought it was pretty gross and told him to stop! Of course his Dad said that it was fine, and encouraged Jacob to continue flossing his teeth. Unfortunately, Jacob wasn't happy just flossing with the pumpkin guts. Jacob started spooning out the guts and eating them! 
I decided to lighten up...and just let my baby have fun no matter how much he was covering himself in pumpkin.
We kept asking him if the pumpkin guts tasted good...he kept replying YEAH...num
! It was so sweet to watch this child that God has blessed me with exploring his pumpkin. I told myself this is his first pumpkin, I will never see him at this age again eating pumpkin and making messes! I found myself not just enjoying the minutes that passed by, but loving every moment and so very thankful for the memories that we made!

Lol! Too cute! Looks like he thoroughly enjoyed himself!!!
Sometimes it's hard to just let kids be kids and boys be boys...but you are right! It only happens once, so enjoy it and let them have fun! Let me ask you this...did you taste it to see how it tasted? While I was reading your post, it reminded me of feeding my babies Gerber baby food that was orange and thinking how it looked so gross and I would never even try it!!! But of course, I would make them eat the whole jar! :)
Ahhh..what a sweet post. And as for Jacob, well he is so adorable. You were blessed with such a fun little guy!!!Give a hug from "AAAlice"
