A Red Ripe Strawberry (and a Big Hungry Henry)

Henry absolutely loves the book The Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear.  He asks to read it almost every night.  He talks about it whenever we eat strawberries (which is pretty regularly this time of year). "Mama!  Mama! Cut it in two, and SHARE IT WITH ME!! YUM!"  If he seems a mouse on a cartoon he says "He needs to go pick his strawberry".  He loves it. So imagine his pure joy when Nick told him that he had is very own red ripe strawberries he could pick in the back yard...

*picture included so I can brag on Nick and his impressive landscaping skills.  Don't for a second think any of this was my doing.  His green thumb is amazing. My thumb is the black thumb of gardening death.
