Baby Munchies

Okay, my daughter isn't really a baby anymore, but she's MY baby. Anyway, I thought I would share this with you just to make you smile.

We got home a little later than usual last night and I had to go to the bathroom. Had. To. Go.

I'm pretty sure if I had waited even three more seconds, my bladder would have erupted and messed up my clean kitchen floor. Thankfully, I made it in time (is that how my daughter feels now that we're potty training?) and as I was finishing, I heard her little feet pattering across the kitchen floor. She tapped on the door and said, "Mommy, I get snack?" I told her to hang on, I'd get her a snack as soon as I washed my hands.

"No mommy. I do it."

While I was washing my hands, I could hear her rummaging in the pantry...

...where her charming daddy had left an open bag of Farmland Cheddar Whole Grain Chips on the bottom shelf.

By the time I dried my hands, she had dragged the bag into the living room on her blanket and had her face inside of it. I stood there looking at her and she pulled her face out of the bag, wide-eyed and smiling and said with a mouth full of chips, "Good. Good." Of course, she had chip crumbs in her hair and stuck to her eyebrows and eyelashes. And it was absolutely the cutest thing ever!

This reminds me of Tony holding two raw hotdogs, each of which he's taken a bite out of, and saying, "Good...good..." while nodding rigorously.

Nice.
