Morning Kisses

This morning, I had jumped back in the bed after getting the baby up and getting her breakfast. Alex was still laying around and we were just talking as Josie was playing in the floor. On Alex's messy bedside table was a silver wrapped Hershey's kiss.

Josie meandered her way over to the bedside table and was picking up (and throwing on the floor) all of the objects as Alex and I were just talking. I noticed her get to the chocolate kiss and inspect it more closely than she had the other objects. How does a 1 year old know a Hershey's kiss from a bit of trash?? But she obviously has an innate ability to detect candy. Over the course of a few minutes she managed to peel the thin foil wrapping off. She would look at me periodically as if she was just waiting for me to say "no" and take it away.

Once she had it unwrapped she looked over to me one last time to see what I was going to do. I just watched. Josie then took a small bite to start with. Then another small bite. Then she turned to me and held it up and said "Mmmm, good" and popped the whole thing in her mouth and then smiled. Sometimes she acts like a real life child instead of a pre-toddler.

I suppose I shouldn't have let her eat chocolate first thing in the morning. I probably should have let her eat chocolate period. But it was so dang cute watching her, I just couldn't stop it.
