Sweet Smile

Today at lunch I was helping baby when my 2 yr old threw his plate on the floor. I went over to him and said,

"What happened?"

He just pointed at the grapes on the counter and squealed (he doesn't talk much yet). I went over to the counter, cut up more grapes, and went to the table.

"What happened to your plate?"

He pointed at it on the ground and squealed.

"How did it get there?"

I picked it up and said, "Do you want more grapes?"

He got excited and started signing grapes.

"You have to use your plate."

He smiled, reached for the plate and said, "pay!" I couldn't help but smile, give him his grapes, and be grateful for that sweet smile in my life.
