I've created a monster

Not only does Camden wake up at 6am every morning (a nightmare in my book), but he insists on having candy all throughout the day....somewhat like his mother, so I can sympathize. However, since Halloween he goes over to where he knows I keep the candy and points and grunts until I lift him up so he can take a look inside the cupboard. So, at 6:30am this morning he insisted on candy. Even I (a lover of candy) think this is a little extreme. He even looks half asleep in this picture, begging for candy...so sad.
I couldn't help it, I let him take a look. Don't worry though, I didn't let him eat it for breakfast....I was able to distract him enough to make him forget about it and eat his regular breakfast--two packets of oatmeal with the occasional banana.

Cam and Romie must be of the same mold. I put our extra halloween candy in a bowl on the cupboard. So Roman will just sit on the ground and point at the bowl and grunt until I give in. It must be in their genes! I'm definitely a candy-lover myself.

Oh, i do threaten to throw all the candy away about every other day. It is a constant request in my house as well. I had to put it on top of the fridge because it is the only place in the kitchen that my kids can't conspire together to climb up to when i'm not looking.

That is my kind of kid! ...and I love that he can down 2 packets of oatmeal.

Really? 2 packets of oatmeal and a banana sometimes?! That's phenomenal! Dallin begs for candy too and would eat it all day, I think, but read a book about an alligator who ate too much chocolate and Dr. Drill the dentist came and took out all his teeth because they were filled with cavities and so I just use that example when I think he's eaten too much and the cavity thing scares him off. :) Mia looks just like Camden, except she just begs and then spits it all out. Silly kids. What would our lives be like without them?
