This morning I was sitting on our living room floor, drinking the last of my coffee while watching speed skating. I gotta say: Peyton was kinda being a nuisance. (I say this in a loving way, though.)
She always wants to try what we have - doing this intense, chin-jut thing that is pretty cute... but then she moves closer, and closer until she's literally 2 inches from your face. Seriously? Oscar was more subtle.
So I thought I'd teach her that grown-up drinks aren't always yummy.
I handed her my pretty much empty mug with the words, "Okay you little mooch. Try this."
I barely held back on the "Bah-ha-ha!!"
She eagerly grabbed my coffee cup and took a swig of my coffee then grimaced.
"Sweet success!" I thought.
The little stinker grinned at me, said, "Ahhhhhh!!!!" and went back for another gulp.
Peyton: 1.
Mommy: 0.

Markus always got a kick out of trying our coffee at that age too.
Annika is just the same!

Love it! I did that with Drew one day too, thinking he would not like what it was, but no, of course he loved it and wanted more...lol.
Jay & I laughed out loud at this..darling! Watch out though!!
Priceless. Just think--that's a great life skill as an adult--being able to one-up someone who thinks they are one-upping you!!! And being so cute about it to boot!!! :)
After I read "then grimaced" I was thinking WHAT THE HECK?!!! The parent NEVER wins with tricks like this. Then I finished reading...and it alllllll made sense :)
