The other night I gave Lylah a bath right after dinner. She was squeaky clean and lotioned and ready for PJs. I thought I had left them in the living room so I carried her into the room (wrapped like a baby in her towel-just the way she loves it). But I forgot that I had left the PJs in her room so I went to get them. I returned about 30 seconds later to this:
She saw me coming and tried to shove as much butter in her mouth as she could. See the cramming look on her face?! We had eaten dinner and I left the butter dish on the dining table where she found it and (literally) dug right in. Look how the 1/2 stick is practically demolished! I always have to keep the dish high up and away because she will drag a chair to the counter top for a butter snack if she sees the opportunity. It is not uncommon for me to open the dish, turn around, and turn back to find a finger scoop missing. Often when I am cooking she will ask for, "Just ONE bite of butter please Mommy." I will agree that butter makes it better but I don't go this far.

That's my girl--I knew she had it in her genes!!!! Just add some sugar to that and we have a miniture Grammy inside of Lylah---I ate butter like that off the dish also--my grandmother would have to hide it--but when I came home from school when I lived with my aunt I can remember eating white bread-sugar and butter--YES!!!!!! still do by the way--but now I do wheat bread--it's healthier???? ha
