Like Mother, Like Daughter

So you know you have a habit that is catching when your almost 3 year old starts mirroring it to you. Well I have to confess to the few of you that don't already know I LOVE Ice Cream. There is most always a carton of Mint Chocolate Chip in the freezer, and after a meal (lunch and/or dinner) I had the habit of taking it out and having a scoop or two, right out of the carton. (Mom you did raise me to know better, but I don't want to do any more dishes, and I was the only one eating..until now). So one day I took out the carton and Bella run up and said, "My turn, my turn. I want some." I tried to give her a bite off my spoon and she refused to take it. She insisted on holding the spoon but still was not satisfied. She was pointing up to the counter saying, "I want up. Up there." Now at that moment I knew what was coming but we wanted to see what she would actually do. So like any parent who is not overly concerned with sugar intake, falling and cracking open heads, or the opinion of all those SAHMs out there I put her on the counter. This is what unfolded. A smile of victory!
Diggin in for a BIG scoop.
Dad spotting it and trying to get in on the action.I can only imagine she is thinking "No Dad, I won't be sharing with you. STOP looking over my shoulder!"

And then contentment. She follows these bites by saying in a very big girl voice, "Mmmm, that is good."

So the carton is empty and I won't be buying more anytime soon. I obviously need to break my habit before I pass it on to the future Ice Cream Addict in the family. Not that there isn't enought Halloween candy to fill in the gaps in the meantime.

more on Halloween, the free car I am so close to winning and Romo life in future blogs. Thanks for your encouragment and response to my commitment to post more often. Just don't expect grammar perfection, I don't have time to blog and edit. I have a test tomorrow. It is time to study.
