First Corn of the Season

One of my friends posted a blog of her 3 year old daughter downing an ear of corn and asking for more. It was a cute little story, and it made me anxious to try our corn fresh from the garden. Well the day has arrived. My daughter came running to me with two ears of corn in her hand, shouting "Mommy, mommy the corn's ready!" Shortly after, my husband came with several more ears. I told them that was great and that I was anxious to try it for dinner. However, my hubby said "Oh no, we have to eat this right now!" So in to the house we went eating an early lunch of corn. I knew Kyra would enjoy it, since she did last year (and she did...all 3 ears). But I wasn't sure how Katie would do. Kevin cut the corn up for her, when I said why don't you let her eat it off the cob? We tried showing her how to hold the little corn holders, but she had no interest (oh well next year maybe). Oh no, we put it on her plate, she grabbed it by the cob and dug in! She almost ate the corn holder! Yup, I think she's going to fit right in to this corn eating family.

That's adorable! Our little guys eat corn the same way as Katie! They just dig right in!
