He couldn't let all of that powdered sugar go to waste! He said, "I have a good idea!" and began licking the plate clean. He only did what all of the adults were thinking.Other news: We finally have potty progress. We literally ran out of diapers, forcing Arthur to work out his fears. Now he has surpassed his sister, who has almost totally lost interest. (She says that she wants to have an accident and then pees all over herself. Nice.) One problem with Arthur is that he gets frustrated that he can't go more often so that he can receive his gummy bear treat. About 30 seconds after success, he tries to go again saying, "I want to go all of the time and I don't want to drink more water!" Sometimes this leads to a full-blown tantrem.
Adaline has recently begun offering parenting advice during these tantrems. She says in a very adult-like tone, "Mom, just let him cry. He's frustrated." When I try to reason with him and calm him, she insists, "Leave him alone. Just let him cry. He's very frustrated." Not bad advice, sis.

Yea, Arthur! And that is great advice from you other one. Makes me laugh. Nothing like the having more little mothers running around.
