Chocoholic

We have all heard of alcoholics passing on the gene to their next of kin, but what about chocoholics? This morning I woke to my 3 yr old devouring Hershey Chocolate kisses.  He unwrapped each one perfectly himself.  The thing that amazes me is how he knew they were in the refrigerator, in a tied walmart bag, under a plate of ham!  Yes amazing.  He did not even see me put them in there.

 After we talked about why it is not good for us to eat all our candy at once he then asked if he could have some more or maybe some of Daddy's chocolate Cherios.  My answer remained firm, "No".

 As the day continued he frequently asked for more chocolate.  He said he was going to eat all the chocolate and then have some more. lol  He was even cuter when he started helping me unwrap the remaining kisses to make pretzel christmas wreaths for Daddy.  Everytime he unwrapped one I could see him trying to fight the urge to eat it.  He did well.  First he bit off the tip of one and placed it on the pretzel.  Next, he bit off the side on one, and then he bit the bottom off.  It looked as though a little squirrel had been helping me.

I am now hiding all the candy on top of the refrigerator and hope he does not find it.  It bet he will dream of chocolate tonight!
