Parenting is a journey of learning lessons as you go. Sure, you read books (or, more accurately, magazine articles in the 3 minutes between when one kid is throwing food and the other is falling off of the chair) and get advice from seasoned veterans, but some things you still have to learn on your own. Here's a list of what we picked up this morning:
1.
If you leave just a little bit of hot chocolate in the bottom of your mug overnight, it almost solidifies by the next morning. Really, it forms a delightful chocolate paste.
2.
If you leave said mug by your chair, thinking you'll put it up the next day, it emits a signal that only toddlers can hear, much like a dog whistle for canines. Honestly, it may not even be a sound. It could be more of a scent, or maybe even a hot or cold sensation that only those close enough to the floor are perceptive enough to discern. It's all guesswork for me at this point. All I know is that numbers 1 and 2 lead to...
3.
An unsupervised toddler will undoubtedly find the mug and sample the paste. Of course, it's never a matter of 'sampling,' but more of 'digging' and 'smearing' and 'touching everything you can in your immediate area with chocolate all over your grubby little fingers.'
The pictures below give you an idea. It's hard to see the chocolate at the bottom of her shirt, or on the carpet nearby, but believe you me, it's there. Anyway, this was the excitement for the morning in the West house.

I swear the last picture is her saying, "Who? Me?"
Oh my! Has she been talking to MacKenna. That is so something she would do and then look so sweet and innocent once "caught." Kids are the best!! I love you guys!!
