In the enchanted world of the raspberry thimbles

Sometimes in our very serious adult world we forget that simple acts like putting fruit and yogurt and such on the bottom shelves of the refrigerator after a trip to the grocery store can be anything but mundane and practical ideas. Yet through the eyes of a toddler acts like these can take on legendary proportions or certainly magically delightful ones!

Since fruit and yogurt happen to be amongst Natalia's favourite fun foods, placing them on the bottom shelf means they are readily available on her level. And so, at times like this, for Natalia the opening of a refrigerator door
rises above the ordinary: it instantly becomes a tasty game. That open door reveals an enchanted world where the berries and grapes and fruit-filled yogurt are within her reach. Fruit that is bite-size, and sweet; fruit that can be popped in her mouth. Without having to wait for Mama or Daddy to cut it up and put it in her bowl.

But why do just that when the raspberries, particularly, can be first worn like a thimble on the tip of her finger and then popped in her mouth.

It is times like this that videos like these get taken. They must be. And shared...



After berry time comes yogurt sublime!
