i was hungry for chocolate

david thinks it's absurd that we buy treats and i immediately forget about them.  out of sight, out of mind.  remember our trip to the chocolate exhibit, and godiva store?  all that chocolate ended up on david's dresser, which i forgot about.  

pace apparently didn't.  it was quiet monday morning after i finished doing the breakfast dishes.  and all moms know...if it's quiet, it's worth investigating!  i found pace upstairs, chocolate smeared.  "i was hungry for chocolate!"  pace grinned.  this little problem solver had pulled a box of diapers from his closet into our room, opened the godiva boxes, pulled out probably his weight in truffles, and had a treat...little stinker!




that works for mr. independence most of the time.  another morning i came down to pace yelling for me to help him, that he was stuck and couldn't get down.  i followed his voice to find him INSIDE the fridge--he wanted a carrot, but couldn't figure out how to get down once he had gotten in...

as i'm writing this, i am hearing noises in the kitchen...i just yelled, "pace, what's going on?"  he replied, "mom, leave me alone!"  ha ha.  i think there are definitely some treats involved there...

Definitely more genetics going on.

When 3 or so I climbed to the top of the piano to get some hard candy Nanie had in a clear, glass jar.

I fell, hitting my head on the vacuum cleaner, and got three stitches.

I'd have climbed higher for chocolate. The kid's got it right.
