Chocolate Prodigy
After lunch, I let the kids have a little bit of the chocolate candy...or maybe more than a little bit...but today I'm trying not to obsess about it. When Emory finished hers off, she spread her arms wide and said "that best...." looked at me for a second and thought, then finished with: "...ever had." Clearly, in her 1 year, 363 days of life, she has become a connoisseur of fine chocolate. :) Then she promptly hopped down from her chair, climbed up the side of Aidan's and hovered over his shoulder while he ate his mini M&Ms. In a defensive strike, he quickly jutted his shoulder forward to shield his precious chocolate from Emory. Alanna, on the other hand, finished hers off uncharacteristically quickly, licked her lips, and headed off to play.
(Maybe Alanna said "That was the best chocolate I ever had" when I wasn't listening, and Emory was just imitating her. Either way, it was too funny to hear a nearly two-year-old say something was the best she's ever had.)
