Don't ask me why, but Adrian's Halloween candy is safely stored in his little pumpkin bag... in his bathroom. One night I gave him a few M&M's after he ate a good dinner.Occasionally, when he doesn't eat all his dinner, I will let him finish it while he is taking a bath.
I did not realize that he would remember where the candy was after ONLY ONE OCCURRENCE of getting a few pieces in the bathtub.
So last night I am TRYING to feed him some chicken in the bathtub since he did not finish it downstairs. He pushes it away and I think, "OK, he's just not hungry."
HAH. Yeah, right.
He stood up, pointed right at the candy basket, and started making his little babble that means "I want that".
He also kept saying "cracker?" (his general request for food) and when I tried to give him a chicken bite, he would cry, stand up, and point to the candy.
Ohhhhhhh boy.

Jennifer,
Children NEVER forget anything as important as where the candy is stored! As a matter of fact, children will remember everything that you really wish they would forget! Welcome to toddlerhood!

What a clever little guy! Naturally it is just survival of the smartest. And in all fairness, in his mind M&Ms are much better than any chicken you could cook :)
