if you give a child a cookie…

Whilst standing in the kitchen + eating a cookie, I looked over at my son, who was munching on some wheat puffs. It just didn’t seem fair. Recognizing Eli’s ability to turn ANYthing into a huge mess, I gave him the one that appeared to have the fewest chocolate chips. Somehow, he managed to do this:

I’m not sure how he was able to accomplish this with only one chocolate chip… but the mess was nothing compared to the sugar high that followed:

Chocolate chip cookies make me feel the exact same way.

    This is why my kids are still eating wheat puffs way into their teens.

    (Hmmm…, I guess I can’t get away with lies like that, especially on one of my own kid’s blogs.)

    So glad you’re capturing moments like this for the far-away Grandmas.

    “No.”

    “Then what is all over your face and hands?”

    [Thoughtful pause.]

    “Poop.”

    So Adorable! He is a cutie, even when his face is covered with chocolate! I guess he must have inherited his grandmother’s love of chocolate, but is she quite so messy??? :)

    Shep, that’s so funny. I honestly thought of that when I saw Eli’s face and wondered if any of you would remember it. The only part you left out was the hours of interrogation before the tearful, “Alright, alright…It’s… it’s…Poop!”
