the big harvest

Today was the day we harvested our first strawberry! This little berry has "been growing so red and juicy and big" as Ethan would say. He has waited for weeks now to pick and eat this little "red goodness" (again I'm not sure where he comes up with these words). I left it up to him for the right day and today was it. He came to me and said "Mom today is the day I will eat my strawberry". So I went to get my camera to take a picture of this joyful occasion and little Miss Gracie went to get her camera as well. He picked it, licked it, ate it and then pulled out the stem attached to a tiny piece of berry to let Gracie try it as well.
