Three words you don’t hear together every day: sea creature gummies
I think the only thing better than gummy sea creatures in Will’s opinion is gummy sea creatures on a stick. This spectacular confection came from his Auntie Melissa along with his birthday present, isn’t it something?
He was very good about eating just one piece a day and about sharing it with his brother, though no freakin’ way was he going to share the shark with Henry. He did give Henry the giant blue eel/ray thing at the top, though. I think he is hoping if he is very, very good he’ll get another one someday.
Thank you, Melissa!

I have to say, I LOVE those sharks. I can see why he didn’t want to share.
He SHARED that beautiful creation? Now that’s true brotherly love. I’d say he earned himself another one.
That is some serious gummy on a stick!!!
YUM!
(And that face!!)
Anna~Thanks for the blueberry recipe. I also found another I am going to try for my Thursday book club…thought you and others would be interested. I have yet to try it so there are no guarantees.

Love the gummy-kebab by the way!
I love gummies. Gummy anything so I can totally relate to your little boy. I have not introduced gummy to my son since he is only one and I am trying to keep some things from him as long as possible.
