Mmmm

My oldest has started climbing over the baby gate to get into the kitchen, where he opens the refrigerator and decides what he wants to eat. Sometimes, he will dump out a bucket of toys, throw the bucket over the gate, climb over himself, and use the bucket as a stool. (One Sunday, while I was at general conference, he did this to his father, grabbing a dozen eggs and accidentally dropping them on the floor. Or maybe it wasn't so accidentally; he loves breaking eggs.)

The other day, he did this and discovered almost-ripe pears on the counter. He grabbed one, peeled off the sticker, climbed back over the gate, and started to eat. When he was done, he dropped it on the floor. His younger brother found it and decided to try it out. His verdict: delicious!
