One of my kiddos favorite snacks is pretzel sticks with a few M&M's with some milk. Easy right, yeah that's what I thought too! I always give Maggie the pink bowl and Max the blue bowl, they like it that way and I also know who brings their bowl back to the kitchen sink and who doesn't. (I'm so smart!) They have both started saying that each other has more M&M's than the other. So today I had to lay down the law. I explained to them that I will NOT count each M&M out, to make sure they each have the same number. I did tell them that they could count each one out, if they wanted, but that they would get 8 each and if I did it with my small (use-my-fingers) scoop, they would probably get more than eight each. They both agreed to go with my finger scoop. I also explained that if I continued to hear more about it, that neither of them would get the very yummy melt-in-your-mouth-not-in-your-hands treat! I didn't hear another word about it.
Harsh as it sounds, a few minutes later, I found Max totally protecting his treat, even in his sleep! Maggie even had the nerve to ask if she could eat his last few &M's. I may be a mean mom when it comes to passing out candy, but we can't have any snack swiping going on while you snooze. We have to protect ourselves and our snacks! Just trying to look out for you buddy! Hope you enjoy those few M&M's when you wake up!
