Today Oliver, Amelia, and I made cookies for our Earth Day play date tomorrow. After the chocolate chip cookies with extra spring colored M&Ms on top cooled down enough to eat, we all had one. They were really good. Amelia wanted another one really bad. I said no because we were going to eat dinner soon and really she only needs one. She whined and tiptoed around the table trying with all her might to reach one. I was trying to clean up and starting to get really frustrated with her whining. "Here Amelia. Eat that chunk you dropped on the floor" Yep, I said it. She eats off the floor all the time but that's usually because she beats me to it. I have never pointed dropped food out to her, let alone used the tone like she was lucky to have gotten more. I sat back and chuckled to myself and thought,"there's today's blog".

Nice move mom! (chuckle). You are my mom hero it's nice to read about the cracks in armor.
I think we have all given our kids permission to eat something off the floor a time or two. And it wasn't like you were out in a public place. It is good to hear other moms do this, though!!
