cookie monster

We stopped by the grocery store today during our afternoon walk. I was craving something sweet so we looked around in the bakery. The women working the bakery counter oohed and aahed over Thomas. When they heard me say the cookies were for me and not for the baby, one of them quickly disappeared behind the counter and emerged with a cookie. A sugar cookie with M&Ms. All for Thomas. She handed him the cookie and he immediately put it to his mouth. This was his first sugary treat. Ever. We let him nibble on it but once he got about halfway through we decided he had probably had enough. When he saw I was going to take it from him, his reaction was swift. In less than a second the cookie was back in his mouth which was already full of cookie. What can I say? The boy likes his cookies. And so does his mom (and his dad, too!).
