Mmm Mmm Good!

While we were eating lunch today, I had cookies baking in the oven. Elijah finished first, so I cleaned him up and let him play on the floor around us. After the cookies cooled, I passed them out - one to Joshua, one to JCT, two to Mama. . .

Then, I got some milk and sat down to enjoy some freshly baked, warm cookies. Elijah, who up until this point had been playing quietly on the floor, began to cry. I put my cookie down and began talking to him. I gave him a different toy. . . still crying. . . I gave him juice. . . still crying. . . I picked him up assuming that he was just tired and wanted to be held. . .

Still crying he pointed straight at the baking sheet of cookies sitting on top of the counter. And, then it hit me. . .

He is old enough to know a good thing when he sees one!!!

So, I handed him a cookie and sat him in his high chair. He devoured the cookie in no more than 3 bites. He took the cookie in his hand and smashed it. Then, he surveyed the mushy broken cookie on his tray, grabbed a handful of mangled pieces and forced them into his mouth. And, nothing could have made him more happy! Here he is in all his cookie loving happiness. . .

Yum! Yum! I like this!!!

Give me another.

Now.
