Stealing Mother's Day Kisses

 


At the end of church yesterday, as I was packing up all my visual aids after teaching young women's (I had taught about journals and--as always--brought way too much stuff), Benjamin handed me two Hershey's kisses for Mother's Day.

I put them on top of a stack of books and papers I was holding (Alaina was in my other arm) and turned away for a second to talk to somebody. When I looked back down at the pile I was holding, I noticed there was only one Hershey's kiss.

Assuming I had dropped it (along with who knows what else), I looked down at the floor--but didn't see anything. Then I looked at Alaina. She obviously had something in her mouth.

Looking closer, I noticed the very tip of a Hershey's kiss poking out.

I quickly squeezed her cheeks together and extracted the kiss--she was very upset, and I soon found out why. As I opened the Hershey's kiss, I found it was wet and partially dissolved.

So my little Laina had her first taste of chocolate this Mother's Day :)

 


It must have tasted better than most of the other things she's put in her mouth. That girl is fast!

So funny!! The third child gets to experience so much more, so much earlier:) It's great being the youngest!

Way to go Alaina! I guess she just couldn't wait until you introduced the chocolate to her, after all don't Ben, Janae and Jason (and Mom) have a very strong liking for anything chocolate.
