I've been feeling under the weather the past couple of days with a cold, and actually felt a pang of hunger for the first time today. It's probably due to the fact that I just bathed my youngest in my warm vanilla brown sugar body wash, and he smells like candy. Anyway, seeing that I can't smell anything, and therefore taste anything I went to the pantry looking for something healthy that I could taste. I came out with dark chocolate chips, completely failing at the mission. But, I'm not going to just sit and eat chocolate chips, I must justify them in some way. Peanut butter! Of course. And now we have all natural peanut butter in our house...completely good for you. And to really make this a healthy snack, I'll put it on a leftover half a banana, because portion size is important.
So, as I scooped out the peanut butter on each bite of the banana, and delicately place three chips on top, Luke comes over asking for a "nak" (snack) of his own. I offer him Cheerios...obviously, I'm leading by example here. He says no. Then raisins. No. He points to the banana. He loves bananas. So, he points to the banana and says, " Chocolate." Hmmmm. Learning new words I see. Ok, he can have one chocolate chip. What can it hurt? I was amazed at the outcome. And just so you can see for yourself, I gave him another one while taking pics.
Warning: the following pictures may make you hungry for sugar. Chocolate, baby, or otherwise. On the other hand it might make you loose your appetite. Either way, I think it's funny.
