If you know my son at all, you probably know that blueberries are one of his absolute favorite things (he gets it from his Daddy). So, this morning, we set off early for a special treat (and now summer tradition): picking blueberries!
He was so good. I was amazed. He followed me to the bushes and I showed him which ones were the good ones to pick. And then he got right down to business, picking two or three ripe ones at a time and putting them in our bucket. A couple of times, he accidentally picked one that wasn't ripe and was sure to tell me about it and hand it over. He didn't even ask to eat one until we got home. I guess blueberry picking is serious business, but we sure did have a blast!

and now for a little trip down memory lane:
blueberry picking, 2008 : Ryan was 2 months old & slept in his carrier the whole time
blueberry picking, 2009: Ryan was clearly more interested in other things (though he had no problems eating the blueberries once they were home!)
