As part of our weekly routine, Caleb and I attended holy mass. I thought we couldn't as recently, his sleeping pattern changed. He was back to sleeping late, ten in the evening and woke up late. Thus, when I called his name and greeted him good morning at 6:30 he surprisingly woke up. I know, I know, I am not supposed to wake him up.

Despite this, he was still in a good mood knowing he was going out 😆. If there is one thing I was thankful for, he doesn't cry in the church. Yes, a little bit naughty but easy to coax. Sometimes he would even sleep.

On our way home after the mass, I saw strawberries for sale. Perfect as I'd been looking for it. Since we are just buying in a small market -Talipapa choices of fruits are limited.

Thus, when I tasted it as we arrived home, sadly it wasn't sweet. Still, I let my son try and look at his face 🤣.

So, I just decided to make a smoothie. Good thing I still had a yogurt and one piece of Banana. We can't go out as it's been raining hard.

The banana looks over ripe but after peeling it turns out it was still okay to use.

Thus, since the available yogurt is mixed berries, I added some honey to lessen the sourness.

I was making the smoothie while my son was on his dining chair having snacks.

blend, blend, blend.

I no longer have disposable cups for fruit shake so I use plastic cups instead.

Did my son like it?

Of all the smoothies I made, it's the first time that he didn't like it after having a sip. Not sure if he mistook it as water since it was in a cup. Thus, he drinks water well in his sippy cup. Or perhaps he simply dislikes the taste.

At the end, he had his water and I had a strawberry banana smoothie 😆.
