Coookeee!

(Cookie - more like coookeee! with extra enthusiasim - is one of his favorite words as of late, despite the fact that he generally doesn't like sweet things. But Peppermint Joe Joe's! Those are a different story.)

It was quiet for a few minutes - a strange occurance since with two little boys, our house is rarely so anymore. 

 I found him amidst the cookies, newly purchased from Trader Joe's. When he saw me walking towards him (towards my camera, actually), he grabbed another & shoved it quickly in his mouth - the entire thing! - while staring right at me. 

 Smart boy. 

I couldn't blame him, & was actually a little jealous (I miss chocolate, & dairy, & gluten...). I fully plan on freezing a few boxes of Joe Joe's so that I can enjoy a few when I'm done nursing West (which basically means next Christmas, so why even bother with the freezer). Sigh.

And because he is my son, he stacked them in a neat little pile when he was finished snacking.

I love this post! How adorable...finding your little man raiding the cookies...at 2 years old! I love the second picture with his little ankles crossed...reminds me of one of my 3 year old grandsons - Benjamin. I have to agree about how good those cookies are! Have you tried the Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Truffles? Oh my!

He is a smart boy. I would have shoved like 5 in my mouth at one time. In fact, I'll probably go do that now.

More than once Patrick has found me in a similar spot doing the exact same thing, after a rough day in the Mama department.
