Knowing that where there is candy there is drama I still can’t help but let Ijah take a sucker when he is offered one at the store…I have the same thing with balloons.
After explaining to him that no, she wasn’t giving him the whole basket, Ijah grabbed a nice red sucker for the ride home.
Now at first I left the wrapper on and he was fairly content chewing and playing with that, but I had a “oh, what the hell” moment and unwrapped it for him.
Things were going quite well at first, happy drooly kiddo. But as his enthusiasm grew so did his frustration. He wanted the candy, he did not want the stick. Knowing this could end poorly (for example an emergency pulling over as I extract both sucker and stick from a stuck kiddos mouth), I bit the bullet and told him he was all done and took it away.
I know…I took candy from a baby…believe me, he let me know too. Eventually was was forgiven. I was just proud that I caught (most) of the antics in photos.
