Popcorn

Haden has fallen in love with popcorn. I'm not sure whether he likes popping it or eating it more! We usually pop it twice a day. Haden gathers everything we need, the popcorn popper, the popcorn, and the bowl. He puts the popcorn in, slides the bowl under the spout and tells me to plug it in. Haden makes sure it has butter on it and Regan insists on adding the salt. I once made the mistake of running out. Haden cried for an hour--apparently he didn't understand that we were all out. He just thought I was being mean. He refused to be consoled or distracted, so I gave up and went to the store JUST for popcorn. He smiled all the way to the check stand and never let it out of his sight.
