The Sweet Tooth Has Finally Emerged!

I knew it would have to happen sometime, it is in her genes. For the longest time, Sam has not really shown any interest in sweets other than cookies. Occasionally, a little bit of cake, but no chocolate, no candy, no popsicles, nothing like that. Well, that’s all over now. All of the sudden she decided that she has been missing out on a LOT of good stuff. I posted recently that she ate a few M&Ms and liked them. Last week, she saw a few Kinder Eggs (these super good hollow chocolate eggs that you can’t get in the U.S. because they have a small toy inside them) and she actually ate it! And boy did she like it! It was the most chocolate I think she ever ate. One night this past week, Mark was putting her pajamas on while we were all sitting on the couch and she spied my fudgesicle. I really didn’t think she’d like it because she never ate popsicles before, but she took a lick, smacked her lips a little bit like she was thinking about it, then opened up her mouth again so I could give her more. She had quite a bit! Then, last night, Mark was eating Pez candy and she ate a bunch of those. Today at Rich and Sandi’s house, she ate Smarties. Oh, Sam…you have finally learned what Mommy, Daddy, your Great-Grandmom Thanner, and your Aunt Krista have always known….candy is king!
