What can I tell you about three year olds?
They're really, really cute. There is still just a bit of baby left in them. But there's also a bit of big kid starting to come out. Nothing brings this fact to light better than CANDY.
Katie Grace loves candy. All kinds of candy but Dove dark chocolate is her favorite. Anyway, Saturday after a trip to the bookstore where she received three Scooby Doo books and Kat Kong, we popped into Linens & Things to look for mugs. We didn't find any that fit Jeff's specs so we started to leave. On the way out Kate noticed a whole bin full of lolly pops.
She shrieked. "Ooooooh Mom, look they have lolly pops!!" To which I replied something resembling, 'I see, come-on lets go.' Well, being three Kate is mature enough to inform me, in clear English, that the store has a huge bin of suckers. But her sweet little three year old mind never considered that mommy wouldn't let her have one. She stood in front of the lolly pop bin and screamed "Can I get a lolly pop mom?" I replied "No honey, the line is long and we're not getting anything else. Let's go." Still in front of the lolly pop bin she shrieked "but maaaaaawm why? Why can't I have a lolly pop? Why mommy, whyyyyyy? The poor little thing never got a lolly pop that day.
Today Kate woke up and wanted to try one of the rather large sized Tootsie Rolls we bought for Halloween. she'd eaten a healthy breakfast so she had one. Then later at Granie & Grandpas she had half a Hershey bar. When we got home she wanted a piece of toffee that Granie had sent home for her. Sadly, she was told No! And this was her response:
But why maaaaawm? Why!!!!
Maaaawm, I just want to try it. Maaaawmy please!!!!
Mommy you hurt my feelings and made me cry.
