Too cute not to share

Parker's favorite thing about Christmas had to be his stocking. He loved unwrapping each little item and stacking it on the table. He even tried walking around with all of his little treats so none were left unattended.

Well, now we're down to the last few pieces of his candy from Christmas and he asked me for a piece yesterday. I gave him the container and he dumped it out on the kitchen table and stared at it for the longest time.

Then he said, "Lollipop for foof." ("Foof" means dog in Parker-speak).

Me: "Oh, you want to share your candy with your foof?"

Parker: "Yes! An(d) Elmo."

So, I went over to the toy bin and got out a stuffed dog, Elmo and Simba the lion. I placed them each on the table in front of him and he proceeded to dole out candy to each of them once piece at a time. He was really putting some thought into it and babbling all sorts of chatter while he did it. It was SO cute!

  And after that, he proceeded to open and lick all three lollipops about 2 times each and then discard them. Then put a piece of gum in his mouth and then spit that out. Then decided on a piece of chocolate.

 

This boy is just like his Mama...loves his sweets, but chocolate always wins out! :)
