Lydia (4 years old) and I were playing the other night. Keep in mind, the kids are not allowed to have gum until they are 5 years old.
Mom: Would you rather have gum or licorice?
Lydia: (picture here using hands while talking and being fully animated): I would totally rather have gum because I'm not even available to have gum yet.
Vin is almost 4 and we give him gum now when he starts acting like he is overloaded...concentrating on the chewing seems to defuse his little brian and he calms down. Gum as a parenting tool who knew!
Yeah, Camden's not available either, but somehow she chewed 2 pieces today.
ReplyDeleteOmagosh. She's freakin' adorable!
