We brought home
maple lollipops for the kids from a little gift shop this
weekend. Just a little something. I’m always amazed at Lex and
sweets though. He was SO excited to get to finally open the
lollipop (I didn’t let him when we first got home because he
didn’t nap and he was a cranky pants!). He was so excited and
he sat at the table and licked it a few times and talked about
how yummy it is and what it tastes like and looks like and
licked it a few more times and then put it down and said he
wanted to save it for later. Hmm… Eve on the other hand went
to town! I ended up taking it away after awhile because she was
making a HUGE mess and I figured that was enough lollipop for
the moment. Lex gets very excited about treats, but regularly
eats just half a cookie, or just a little bit of the lollipop.
I’ve even seen him leave popsicles partially eaten. He seems to
know how to regulate himself pretty well in that respect. I
could learn a few things from him! Although, the one treat that
NEVER goes unfinished is brownies and ice cream at Gammy and
Popcube’s house! He loves those!
