you snooze, you lose

The Babe had a play date today, so she and I went over to our neighbors house for the afternoon. The mom at the playdate had made brownies! How nice! Something I would never think to do just because The Babe's friend was coming over, but it was a nice touch, just the same. As we left our date, the mom sent us home with a foil package of a few of the brownies. Also very nice.

So for dessert tonight, what do you think I gave The Kiddos? I'll give you 3 guesses and the first two don't count. You got it already? Gosh, you're good. ; )

So, each of The Kiddos has a small brownie. The Boy doesn't quite "get" brownies yet, so he just kind of nibbled at his, not convinced it would actually be good. The Babe devoured hers and asked for another. I gave her one (they were really small!), and I left the room to go check on work.

The Boy comes into my office, holding a small piece of his brownie, and complaining about something. "Mommy! Dizzy take it! Dizzy take it!" He wasn't crying, but he was displaying a certain amount of urgency; so I got up to check what he was talking about. I asked, "what did The Babe take?" "My brownie! Dizzy take my brownie!". I look, and The Babe did indeed seem to have The Boy's brownie on her plate in addition to the one I had just given her. (3 brownies? She thinks she should have 3 brownies??)

Me: Did you take his brownie?
The Babe: I said I was sorry.
Me: You're sorry? So, it was an accident? You didn't mean to take it?
The Babe: I had to take it, it was just sitting there.

LOL! The Boy learned a valuable lesson today: You snooze, You lose. You are not to leave your brownie unattended. Luckily, The Babe hadn't actually eaten The Boy's brownie yet, so she gave it back. Crazy kids.
