I told you Amanda is a genius, right? This morning as we were walking home from walking Andy and Sarah to school (I love that we can walk to school now!) Amanda asked me if she could have a popsicle. It was about 8:45 a.m. I told her we didn't eat popsicles in the morning and she could have one after lunch.
Within 10 minutes of walking in the door she asked me if she could have lunch. She had just eaten a bagel at 8:00 a.m. so she was not hungry. I laughed and asked her what she wanted for lunch. Carrots and salami. Not a bad lunch.
I gave her a plate with about 10 carrots and 5-6 pieces of salami. She ate it all. When she was done she asked me for, you guessed it, a popsicle. Although I still didn't want to give her a popsicle at 9:30 in the morning, technically she did what I said so I gave it. Have you ever heard the term "pick your battles"? Not one I was going to pick today.
The funny thing is around one o'clock she kept asking me for snacks, so I asked her if she wanted lunch instead of a snack. Her response? "No, I already had lunch. Remember?"
I love that kid.
