When toddlers start to get opinions, it’s both amazing and obnoxious.
My son came with me to my school’s family fun night tonight. I couldn’t enjoy much time with him, since I was helping work one of the games, but for a while, he and my husband came to the cake walk room to visit. I had to convince him to walk around the numbers, then wait for a number to be called. Finally when he won, we approached the spread of sweet treats to choose from. I pointed out a delicious looking, giant chocolate cupcake. For a moment I had him convinced and he agreed, “Yes! I want that cupcake!” Then he saw another baked good next to it. Something called “mini chocolate tea cakes.” I’m not saying they didn’t look good, but they were no giant chocolate cupcake. And to be honest, I had been eyeing the giant chocolate cupcake all day since the students brought it in and we set things up on the counter. But of course, toddlers have opinions. So now it’s after 9pm, he’s in bed, and I stand in my kitchen and eat mini chocolate tea cakes.

LOL, there will be so many opinions. I love that even though this was not your 1st choice, it was still a good snack when things were finally calm. The life of a mom.
