Let me paint a picture for you.
We have a blue couch in front of a line of heater vents...there is a small space between my favorite left side of the couch and the side table.
Every morning i eat my protein bar in this spot and nahla likes to come and eat pieces with me.
Lately she has been spitting them on the floor to get more.
Today i decided to play mom and insist she had to finish the piece she had before i gave her a new one.
At first she refused.
As she moved into the space between the couch and the side table she started to smile.
Finally she took the old piece and i thought good i taught her a lesson.
I look over a few seconds later and saw her spitting it out...i decided i was not going to give her a new piece.
I looked away disappointed. When i looked back to find the piece on the ground i couldn't. Nahla was grinning ear to ear...I looked against the wall and saw chocolate fingerprints..Then she pointed toward the heater vent.
I looked down and there on the side of the vent was a smudge of chocolate. She had shoved the piece inside of the vent, where i couldn't get it.
She was smiling and smiling...again I've been outsmarted by a one year old..i gave her a new piece...after all that was smart, ill reward that.
haha those pictures are pretty good -- jaren looks like he's going to kill someone in that picture :)
ReplyDeleteas far as kids go... i realized last night that i'm pretty deft to them. we had a couple over and their baby was like bawling for like an hour. everyone kept commenting about it and it seemed to never bother me... i guess i'm used to crying babies haha
