Jonas picks blueberries

Jonas experienced his first field work Monday night. With his Nonnie, Dad, and me, he went out to Venable's Organic Farm in Carencro to pick figs. Because the fig leaves can sometime sting tender skin, he and I stuck to the blueberry bushes. He rode in the desidou sling and helped me find the most beautiful, ripe berries. We sang while we picked, but had to stop for an explosive diaper, an SBD (silent but deadly) that really caught me by surprise. Shortly after his first harvest expedition, Jonas experienced another first - a diaper change in the trunk of Nonnie's car. Who knew that a Toyota Camry's back end would prove so useful and spacious?
