Snack Time

Ella loves snack time and doesn't let me forget when that time of day comes around! She usually loves snacking on crackers and cheese, (lots of) yogurt, fruit, and gold fish. Today, totally my mistake, I poured her a few gold fish on her plate and walked away for literally a second to get her drink. Before I even took 2 steps away I heard a loud "whoosh" and instantly knew what she had done. I didn't even want to turn around. I remember thinking "Laren....why did you leave that BIG container right in front of a curious, independent 19 month old?". I took a breath and put a smile on my face and calmly explained to her that mommy has to help with the fish - that's what Ella calls them. She instantly started singing the "clean up" song, and started playing/ picking up the gold fish. I just had to laugh, what else was there to do? It's little moments like this that makes me realize how boring my life would be without kids!
