I thought today I would catch up on some of the old stories of the funny things the girls have done.  So I am going to pick on them both.

When AJ was around 3 years old, there were several adults sitting in the living room.  She had been off playing and came into the living room licking her lips and saying that the chocolate was good.  I looked at her thinking she had to be pretending because certainly I hadn’t left chocolate in her reach.  I am fairly conservative when it comes to sweets and still don’t leave things where they can reach them except on rare occasions.  So we all laughed with her and assumed it was pretend.  She leaves and returns a few minutes later licking her lips again and telling us how good the chocolate was.  This time there was a dark spot on her mouth that did look like chocolate.  I was beginning to be convinced that she really had found chocolate somewhere, but where could it be.  So the next time she left the room, I followed her.  She walked to the refrigerator and took out the chocolate syrup and squeezed some in her mouth.  She was indeed enjoying the chocolate.

For Vera’s story I think she was only 2.  She loved strawberries so I usually had some around.  One day I was in my bedroom and the girls were playing in another room.  I came out of my bedroom to find her standing in the hallway holding the entire container (which was full when she got it) of strawberries.  She had one in her hand and there were only a few left in the container.  But there was a trail of half eaten strawberries down the hall and all the way back to the fridge.

Needless to say, I invested in one of the refrigerator child locks.
