The Truth About Our Cookie Monster...

For those who know Asher, one of the first things that comes to mind when you think about this little(big) guy is his appetite. This kid will be eating me out of house an home before too long. I have never had a problem getting him to finish a meal, and as a result he is healthy, happy, and HUGE!

Recently, Ash has grown his "10 foot arms" as my mother-in-law call them, and anything within reaching distance is up for grabs... literally. I happened to be enjoying a couple of Chips Ahoy (my favorite) when a chubby little fist reached down and stole a cookie right off my plate! Of course, I tired to be the responsible mom you read about in parenting magazines and took the cookie away before any damage could be done ("He only has one tooth! He can't chew!" I am thinking to myself) which only resulted in an ill-constrained outburst of emotion, not excluding screaming and tears. Being as though I AM NOT indulgent in the least and always stand my ground, I promply gave the cookie back. This was the result...



Looks like the Truth is that you love cookies as much as your mama does, little man!
