The cookie monster

Joseph may have trouble enunciating words in his ever-expanding vocabulary, but one comes across loud and clear—cookie.
Almost immediately after waking in the morning, he tries to drag me down to the kitchen pantry chanting, “cookie, cookie.” After we walk in the door in the evening, he makes a beeline for the pantry. If I don’t move, he’ll grab my hand and place it on the doorknob as if to prod me along.
If the desired treat is not forthcoming, the 2-year-old temper ignites complete with scrunched up face, red, tear-streaked cheeks, and stomping feet. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve stopped keeping cookies in the house. I’ve been trying to redirect that hunger to more appropriate snacks like fruit, graham crackers or pretzels, but I’m really wondering how long it will be before I can say the word and not have to spell it out!

This was a funny post that we all can relate to! The Pumpkin’s version of this obsession is for Annie’s Bunnies. She especially loves the chocolate-chip and chocolate varieties, which are pretty much cookies in bunny form. Good luck!

A cookie is very suitable snacks enjoyed when the family is gathered at the weekend or are relax. My wife always makes cookies for my children’s because the cookies are their favorite snack. The ingredients for making cookies are also very easy. I also like to enjoy eating cookies with my kids. It’s really yummy…
