Monday after I put Doodle down for her nap I thought I'd sit and check my e-mail and play a few computer games while sipping my coffee and enjoying a few mint oreo cookies. So fast forward a few minutes, I'm now at the computer, coffee in hand and half a cookie shoved into my mouth. THUMP THUMP THUMP "hi mama" comes the small voice at the bedroom door.
SIGH there goes my personal time. "yum yum" says the little voice coming from my daughter who has now positioned herself at my elbow and is pointing at my plate with 2 cookies on it.
"no no" I say. " you can have some after you take a real nap. Would you like to go take a nap now, so you can have a cookie when you get up?" Her little head shakes no quite meaningfully. And she scampers off to play with her toys. I quickly think I'll finish up and then put her back down for her nap. A few more minutes go by and I hear a gleeful laughter behind me. Wondering what she finds so funny, I turn to see my daughter trying to change my son's diaper. OH GOSH! So I gently tell her that only mommy does this, but I figure that since she's gone through the trouble I might as well; its probably time to anyways. Fast forward to mid-diaper change and I ask Serenity to bring me my hair tie. I look over at the table just in time to see a small hand grab my LAST cookie and run from the room. My little girl all full of smiles and giggles. Now if you remember correctly, there were 2 cookies left when she came into the room. And now, there's no cookies on my plate.
She swore up and down that she only had 1 cookie. It remains a mystery to this day what happened to that other cookie. But I have a pretty good idea what might have happened to it :)
