A parental moment

Eric and I went for brunch with friends recently. Pancakes, eggs, yum! Emerson, clever boy that he is, managed to get his hand into the little syrup pitcher and then pour the whole thing on himself and me. Eric and I did the obvious parental instinct thing: we tried to get his syrup-covered hands into our mouths before he could get them into his.

It was a lot of syrup! I was going to try to at least get a little pancake in my mouth to soak it up but then thought better of it.
